Deploy and Sync
Use the Master to install or synchronize an additional Engine server over SSH. The Master cannot install itself over SSH; use Installation for the first server.
Add a Server
- Open Server → Add Server.
- Enter the SSH address, port, username, and authentication.
- Set unique service ports, the primary interface, public address, and usable egress capacity.
- Enable Install After Saving, save, and follow the deployment log.
- Activate a separate Engine license on the new machine.
- Verify version, health, RPC, resources, and playback.
Install or Synchronize Again
Open Server → Manage Servers, select Install / Sync, review the target and version, then confirm. This updates Engine software and configuration. Check the installer firewall warning first. Manage DNS, mounts, drivers, and certificates separately.
Automatic Synchronization and Recovery
After the Master starts, it synchronizes other servers, including online ones. Failed attempts are retried; successful servers are not repeatedly synchronized.
Checks run about every 60 seconds. After initial synchronization, a server offline longer than Server Timeout is eligible for recovery. SSH connection timeout is 10 seconds; an installation attempt can take up to five minutes.
Open View Install Log to check automatic attempts. After installation, verify RPC and playback, not just online status.
Warning
Verify the Target: Confirm the hostname, address, and SSH host key before sending credentials or installing software.
