Navigating the interface
Once you are signed in, TurboStack presents a consistent layout so you always know where you are.
Main navigation
The sidebar gives you access to the platform's areas:
- Hosts - your servers and their configuration (the default view).
- Groups - shared settings applied across multiple hosts.
- Templates - reusable host configurations.
- Search - find hosts, groups and templates.
- Monitoring - infrastructure and application monitoring.
- Support - help and contact details.
Your Profile Settings and Logout are also available from the navigation, and a Platform updates link in the page footer opens the release-notes feed.
Breadcrumbs
A breadcrumb trail at the top of each page (for example Dashboard / Hosts / your-host) shows where you are and lets you step back up at any time.
GUI editor vs. Source (YAML)
When configuring a host, group or template, you can switch between two editing modes using the GUI / Source toggle:
- GUI - a guided editor with dropdowns and fields.
- Source - the raw YAML configuration, for advanced users.
Both edit the same configuration. You can set your preferred default mode in Profile & preferences.
Lists, search and pagination
List pages (Hosts, Groups, Templates) share the same conveniences:
- A search box filters the list as you type.
- A Number of Items control sets how many entries appear per page.
- Copy icons appear next to values such as host names and IP addresses.
Real-time feedback
Long-running operations - such as publishing a configuration or restoring a backup - open a dialog that updates automatically and shows live progress and logs, so you can follow along without refreshing the page.
Next steps
- Deploy your first site - an end-to-end quick start.
- Managing hosts - browse and configure your servers.
