Using the Web Dashboard

Starting from QtEasyTier 1.2.0, users can deploy and use the official EasyTier Web Dashboard to manage nodes. Here are the detailed steps.

Tip

The Web Dashboard uses the following default ports (you can change them on the Settings page):

• 55667: API port — used for web launch and connecting to the Web Dashboard backend.
• 55668: Config delivery port — used for connecting easytier-core to the Web Dashboard. Please ensure both ports are free!

Starting the Web Dashboard

Settings Page Options Explained

1. Config Delivery Port: The port that easytier-core needs to connect to for configuration delivery (the port specified in the network config). If other devices’ easytier-core instances need to use this machine’s Web Dashboard, they must connect to this port.
2. Config Delivery Protocol: The protocol used by the config delivery port. Defaults to UDP; TCP, UDP, and WebSocket are available.
3. Console Frontend Port: The port used by the Web Dashboard frontend, default 55667. Connect to this port in your browser to access the console.
4. Console API Address: The default API Host address shown on the login page. You can use the local address or log in to an external console. The protocol is http or https. (This option is subject to browser caching and may not take effect immediately; you can manually change the API Host address on the login page.)

Launch the Web Dashboard

Find the “Start Web Dashboard” button on the home page and click it to start the Web Dashboard.
The program will then automatically open the web management interface in your browser.
You can also manually navigate to http://127.0.0.1:55667.

Upon opening the web management interface, you will be prompted to log in. Enter the corresponding username and password to log in.

Configuring a Network to Connect to the Web Dashboard

Important Notice

On a single device, only one network configuration can connect to the same Web Dashboard — otherwise unexpected issues may occur.

Usage

• In QtEasyTier, create a new network configuration and enable “Enable Web Console Management” on the Other Settings page.
• If you check “Connect to local address,” it will connect to the local console’s admin user, whose default password is admin.
• To connect to other users or external addresses, fill in the “Connection Address & Username” field using the example format.

Tip

When using Web Dashboard management, the network configuration’s settings page and running status are not applicable. Please perform configuration and monitoring within the Web Dashboard.
