How to Add a Server with SSH Credentials on iPhone
Adding a server to ServerPanel takes a host and credentials: enter them, and within seconds you're monitoring over SSH. Organize multiple servers into groups to keep a fleet tidy.
Steps
- In ServerPanel, choose to add a server.
- Enter its host and credentials (password or private key).
- Connect — monitoring starts over SSH in seconds.
- Assign the server to a group to stay organized.
- Repeat for each server (up to 3 free; unlimited with Premium).
Why it works this way
Onboarding a server shouldn’t be a project. ServerPanel needs only what SSH already needs — a host and credentials — so a box goes from “added” to “monitored” in seconds, no server-side setup. Groups keep things sane once you’re running more than a couple, so a fleet stays organized instead of a flat list.
Tips & edge cases
- Group by role or project — web, db, staging.
- Private key auth is more secure than passwords for regular use.
- Free covers 3 servers; Premium removes the limit.
