Services

Last updated May 27, 2026

The per-service control surface, an expanded view of the cards shown on Server Status.

What you can do here

For each watched systemd unit:

Start / Stop / Restart: via the agent, audited. Disabled unless the operator opted in under Server Settings → General → “Allow service controls from UI”.
Enable / Disable: change the unit’s boot-time autostart state.
Reload: for units that support it (nginx, php-fpm, stalwart-mail), reload without dropping in-flight connections.
View recent journal: last 500 lines, paginated.
View dependency tree: systemctl list-dependencies <unit> rendered as a collapsible tree.

Watched units

Unit	Role
`jabali-panel.service`	The HTTP panel.
`jabali-agent.service`	The privileged agent over UDS.
`nginx.service`	Reverse-proxy and per-vhost server.
`php8.1-fpm.service` … `php8.5-fpm.service`	Per-version FPM masters.
`mariadb.service`	MariaDB (panel DB + tenant DBs).
`postgresql.service`	PostgreSQL (tenant DBs only; absent if no tenants use it).
`pdns.service`	Authoritative PowerDNS.
`pdns-recursor.service`	Loopback recursor.
`stalwart-mail.service`	SMTP / IMAP / JMAP / mailbox store.
`bulwark.service`	SPA + autoconfig bridge.
`kratos.service`	Identity.
`redis.service`	Notifications dispatcher stream and panel cache.
`crowdsec.service`	IP-trust source.
`tetragon.service`	eBPF tripwires for malware detection.
`aide.timer`	Daily host-integrity scan.
`certbot.timer`	Let’s Encrypt renewal.
`jabali-freshclam.timer`	ClamAV signature refresh.

The watched set is computed at panel startup. Units that are not installed are simply absent from the page (no “missing” warnings).

What to avoid

Do not stop jabali-panel.service from the UI: you will lose the UI immediately. SSH back to the host and systemctl start jabali-panel to recover.
Do not stop jabali-agent.service while a reconciler tick is in progress: in-flight operations will fail and require a manual retry.
Do not disable kratos.service: login becomes impossible.

CLI

Service controls are also available via the standard systemctl interface; the panel does not interpose. Use systemctl status <unit> from a shell when you want the unabridged output.
