Click any pod name from the dashboard to open its detail page. Its tabs are Overview, Domains, Services, Git, Env, Backups, Logs, Metrics, Events, Feedback, SSH, Dev Tools, Terminal and Settings.

​
Overview

Shows the pod’s key information at a glance:
  • Status with start/stop/restart controls
  • Preset and Plan
  • Resources - CPU, memory, and disk allocation
  • Domain - the pod’s public URL (click to open)
  • Server and Region
  • Created at timestamp
For a Node.js pod, the info panel also carries a Node version picker that switches the pod’s Node major in place - see Node.js. If the pod is running but your app isn’t reachable, an amber banner appears here with the Deploy Doctor verdict: what’s wrong, the evidence, the fix, and an Apply fix button where InstaPods can do it for you. A pod created by uploading a ZIP also gets an Update from ZIP card, which replaces its files and rebuilds in place - see Import an existing app.

​
Domains

Manage custom domains mapped to your pod.
  • View all custom domains and their verification status
  • Add a new domain with CNAME or TXT verification
  • Verify a pending domain
  • Delete a domain mapping
See Custom Domains for the full guide.

​
Services

Install and manage database services inside your pod.
  • View installed services with their status
  • Install MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Redis
  • View connection credentials
  • Remove a service
Services require the Build plan or higher. Launch plan pods show an upgrade prompt.
See Services Overview for details on each database.

​
Git

Connect a Git repository and manage deployments.
  • Connect a GitHub repository or any Git URL
  • View deployment history with status and commit info
  • Trigger manual deploys or rollbacks
  • View build logs in a terminal-style viewer
  • Configure auto-deploy settings
See Git Deployment for the full guide.

​
Env

Edit the pod’s environment variables in the browser, one KEY=VALUE per line. Save changes writes them to the pod’s env file and applies them to the running app - existing keys are updated in place, and lines you delete are removed. See Environment Variables for the CLI and API equivalents.

​
Backups

List the pod’s backups, take one by hand, restore, download an archive, import one, and change the automatic schedule. See Backups for what is captured, plan retention limits, and the restore semantics.

​
SSH

SSH connection information and key management.
  • View the SSH command to connect (ssh instapod@host -p PORT)
  • List authorized SSH keys
  • Add or remove SSH keys

​
Logs

View container and application logs.
  • Filter by service (system, nginx, app, etc.)
  • Adjust the number of log lines
  • Real-time log output

​
Metrics

CPU, memory and disk usage for the pod, both current and over time.

​
Events

A timeline of pod lifecycle events:
  • Creation, start, stop, restart
  • Resize operations
  • Service installations
  • Backup, restore and app-update activity
  • Error events

​
Feedback

Comments left by visitors through the pod’s shareable feedback widget. Visible to controls who sees the widget - Everyone, or Only with link. You can also reset the feedback link, which stops anyone holding the old one from submitting.

​
Dev Tools

Install and manage AI coding agents inside the pod: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Aider and OpenCode. Installing one puts the agent’s command on the pod’s PATH, so you can run it from the Terminal or over SSH against your own code. You sign in to the agent yourself the first time you run it - InstaPods never holds those credentials. The pod must be running to install an agent, and the install happens in the background, so the entry sits at “installing” for a minute or so. See AI Coding Agents for the API.

​
Terminal

A full shell in the browser, attached to a persistent tmux session so your work survives a disconnect. See Web Terminal.

​
Settings

Pod-level settings, including the Pod type switch that converts the pod between a website and a background worker with no public URL. See Worker Pods.
