This documentation is currently under development. Some sections may be incomplete or missing. We appreciate your patience as we work to provide comprehensive information about our services.

What is the Startup Command?

The startup command is the command that is executed when you start your server. It is used to launch your server application and can be customized to fit the needs of your specific application. The startup command can include various parameters and options that are necessary for your server to run properly.

What are Startup Variables?

Startup variables are placeholders that can be used in your startup command to represent specific values that may change each time you start your server. For example, you can use a startup variable to represent the port number that your server should listen on, allowing you to easily change the port number without having to modify the entire startup command. Currently it is only possible to use variables we provide, which can be found next to the name of the variable. We may add the ability to create custom variables in the future, but for now, you can only use the predefined variables that we offer.

Alongside the listed startup variables, we also support:

  • SERVER_MEMORY - This variable represents the amount of memory allocated to your server.
  • SERVER_IP - This variable represents the IP address of your server.
  • SERVER_PORT - This variable represents the port number that your server is listening on.

These variables may not provide the expected values in all cases, and their behavior may change in the future. We recommend not using these variables in your startup command, and we are not responsible for any issues that may arise from using them. If you choose to use these variables, please be aware of the potential risks and limitations associated with them.

How to Set a custom Startup Command

To set a custom startup command for your Bytevora server, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to your server's dashboard on the Bytevora platform.
  2. Click on the "Startup" tab to access the startup settings.
  3. Under "Startup Command", you can click "CHANGE STARTUP COMMAND" to open the startup command editor.
  4. In the startup command editor, you can enter your custom startup command. You can also use the provided startup variables to customize your command as needed.
  5. Once you have entered your custom startup command, click on the "Save" button to save your changes. On the next startup of your server, the new startup command will be used to launch your server application. If you encounter any issues with your custom startup command, you can always revert back to the default startup command.

Docker Images

Whilst not possible to use your own custom docker image, most servers support the ability to select from numerous different docker images. You can select the docker image you want to use for your server in the "Startup" tab of your server dashboard under "DOCKER IMAGE". The docker image you select will be used to run your server application, and it may have an impact on the performance and compatibility of your server. The default docker image is usually the most compatible with applications.
