Server Management

The blocklet server command is your primary tool for managing the lifecycle of a Blocklet Server instance. It allows you to initialize configurations, start and stop the server daemon, check its status, and perform various maintenance tasks. This suite of commands ensures you have full control over your server environment directly from the command line.

Each command is designed for a specific stage of server management. Explore the cards below to learn more about each function.

Stop Server

Gracefully shut down the running Blocklet Server and all associated blocklet processes.

Check Status
