Server Actions

Administrator tools live under Administrator in the sidebar.

Administrator dashboard

The Dashboard page at /dashboard/admin is the admin home. It shows storage usage, version information, and quick links to metrics, users, settings, and other admin pages.

Storage status

The admin dashboard shows how much storage your instance is using. For local storage, this includes total disk space and a usage percentage. For S3, it shows the bucket path and total bytes stored (S3 does not report total capacity).

Server Actions

Maintenance actions are under Server Actions at /dashboard/admin/actions.

Import/Export Data

This will allow you to import data (from V3 or V4 exports) or export your current data (that can be imported here later.) Import/Export is only available to super administrators.

For more information on how V3 imports work, visit migrations.

For more information on how V4 imports/exports work, visit Import & Export.

The export file will return a JSON file that contains all your data, except for the actual files. This is to keep the file size down, and to allow you to handle files seperately.

Clear Zero-Byte Files

This button does what it says, it will remove any files that have 0 bytes.

After clicking the button, it will tell you how many files it will remove and ask you to confirm.

Clear Temp Files

This button will clear any files within the temporary directory configured.

Requery Size of Files

This will requery the size of all files in the database. This is useful if you have moved files around, or they no longer exist and you want to clean up your instance.

Force Update

This will update every file regardless of the size has changed or not. This may take a while depending on the number of files you have.

Force Delete

This will delete files that are in the database but no longer exist on the server. It will also clear files that are in the database but tagged with 0 bytes.

Generate Thumbnails

Usually, thumbnails are generated on a scheduled interval, but this button will allow you to generate thumbnails for video files that don't have them yet.

Re-run

This will generate thumbnails for all video files, even if they have been generated before.
