Overview

BTFS Dashboard is a visualization tool provided by the BTFS team designed to display the status and data of nodes. This tool allows users to conveniently monitor the operational status and related data of BTFS nodes.

Access Methods

BTFS Dashboard supports the following two access methods:

Local Access: After the node is successfully run, users can directly access localhost:5001/dashboard to visit BTFS local node's Dashboard.
Remote Access: Users can securely access the BTFS Dashboard in a remote environment by visiting https://dashboard.btfs.io/
Note: Users must upgrade to version 3.1 or later and enable the EnableTokenAuth option in the configuration.

Login Password

Starting from BTFS 3.1, BTFS Dashboard introduced a login password feature to ensure the security of user information and data. When logging in for the first time, users are required to set a password before they can access the Dashboard.

The login password will also be verified before performing key operations such as viewing the private key and making transfers, to further secure user assets.

Please note: BTFS does not store your login password. If you forget the password, you will need to provide the node's private key to reset it.

Feature Modules

BTFS Dashboard provides the following main feature modules to facilitate node management and monitoring:

Dashboard: Displays the overall information of the node, including key information such as node reputation and earning history.
Cheques: Manages and views payment cheques used for transaction records within the BTFS network.
Online Proof: Shows the node’s online proof to ensure its active status within the network.
Peers: Displays a list of peer nodes connected to the current node, helping users monitor the network topology.
Files: Used to upload, download, and manage files stored in the BTFS network.
Settings: Configures and adjusts relevant BTFS node settings, including security and storage parameters.

Dashboard

Through the Dashboard, you can view essential node information and operational details, such as node status, connection status, score and related metrics, as well as the BTTC and Vault addresses. The dashboard also allows you to visualize node revenue and manage deposits or withdrawals from the Vault address.

Cheques

Through the Cheques module, miners can view their node's current cheque income and expenses, as well as withdraw received cheques. The withdrawn WBTT will be transferred to the node's Vault Address.

Online Proof

The node verifies its online status by periodically sending data to the online proof service. This module displays the details of the online proof data.

Peers

The Peers module allows you to view information about other nodes with which the current node has established a P2P connection. This includes details such as the peer's location, peer ID, and more. Miners can also manually add connections by entering the address of the node to be linked (e.g.,/ip4/76.176.168.65/tcp/4001/p2p/QmbBHw1Xx9pUpAbrVZUKTPL5R).

Files

The File module enables miners to view the storage details of the current node, including total storage space, used space, and the number of file blocks. Miners can import files or folders to the local BTFS node by clicking the “Import” button. They can then manage these imported files within the local node.

Under the BTFS Native API, in addition to basic file upload functionality, we also provide file encryption and decryption capabilities. We support asymmetric file encryption using the public key of any BTFS node, as well as symmetric file encryption using any custom string.

Additionally, you can use the S3 API on the Dashboard to create and manage Buckets and files, along with managing the corresponding Access Keys. Learn more about AWS S3-Compatible API service on BTFS

Settings

Users can perform advanced node configurations in the Settings tab, including modifying the storage path, changing the login password, configuring S3 access keys, and viewing the private key.
