Services¶
The Services page lists the background services running on the gateway — things like the ZeroTier client, the ForwPort client, the EProx agent, Node-RED, and any local SCADA application.
Each row shows:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Service | Name and a short description |
| State | A badge: green/active when running, red when installed but not running, grey not installed |
| Boot | Whether the service starts automatically on boot (enabled/disabled) |
| Actions | Per-row buttons, where available |
Enabling or disabling a service¶
Click Enable or Disable in the service's row. This changes whether the service starts on boot — it does not immediately stop a currently running service.
Disabling a remote-access service
Some services (for example the ZeroTier client) are flagged as critical to remote access. Disabling one of these asks first:
Turning off '{name}' may interrupt remote access to this gateway. Continue?
If you're on-site, this is usually safe. If you rely on remote access to reach this gateway, make sure you have another way in (e.g. a local connection) before disabling it.
Enabling a service never prompts — only turning one off does.
Restarting a service¶
Click Restart in the service's row. You'll be asked to confirm:
Restart '{name}' now?
A restart briefly interrupts whatever that service provides — for Node-RED or a SCADA app, expect a few seconds of downtime while it comes back up.
Not every service can be restarted or have its boot setting changed from here — the buttons that don't apply to a given service simply don't appear in its row.
