The Capsule dashboard at trycapsule.xyz/dashboard gives you a live view of everything the agent on your server is doing — without exposing your data or credentials.

​
What the dashboard shows

​
Summary cards

The top of the dashboard shows at a glance:
  • Servers — how many servers you have registered
  • Connections — total database connections across all servers
  • Backups — total backups stored
  • Schedules — active backup schedules

​
Recent backups

A live feed of the last 10 backups across all connections, with status (success or failure), size, and timestamp.

​
Failure alerts

Any backup that fails — including dump-stage failures before a file is uploaded — appears prominently in the dashboard. You don’t need to check server logs to know something went wrong.

​
What the dashboard cannot do

Because Capsule is zero-knowledge:
  • The dashboard cannot display your database contents
  • The dashboard cannot decrypt your backups
  • The dashboard cannot read your credentials
It only receives metadata: timestamps, sizes, statuses, and connection names you assign.

​
Triggering actions from the dashboard

You can trigger on-demand backups and restores directly from the dashboard. These signals are sent to the agent running on your server — the backup or restore happens locally on your server, not through Capsule’s infrastructure. See Backups for details.

​
Agent connection

The dashboard shows a green indicator next to each server when the agent is online and actively polling. If the agent goes offline (e.g., service stopped or server rebooted without service enabled), the indicator turns grey. If the agent is offline, scheduled backups will not run. See capsule service to ensure the daemon starts on boot.
