FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The Overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:port with one-click copy, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. You can start, stop, or restart your server from here.
In the Configuration tab, AI turns the relevant settings into easy-to-understand form fields, or you can edit the raw text view instead. You’ll find the most important startup values together in the Startup Parameters category.
With ZapX Pass, the ZapX AI Agent can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, and suggest updates through chat. You’ll be asked to confirm any action that changes your server beforehand.
Yes, we back up your server automatically every day. With ZapX Pass, you can also create, restore, and download backups with a click. With ZapX Pass Pro, you can even schedule backups to run automatically.
Under Schedules, you can have your server start, stop, or restart automatically—and with ZapX Pass Pro, you can schedule automatic backups too. Choose a preset like “Daily at 04:00” or use your own cron expression.

Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:port with one-click copy, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you need more resources.
Tip
If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZapX detects it automatically in the background and updates your Overview for you. You don’t need to reload the page manually to see the actual status.
The Overview also includes the Foundry VTT card: Click Open Web UI to launch the Foundry interface in a new tab. Next to it, you’ll see the password you need to sign in as an administrator to Foundry’s setup. Learn more in our connection guide.
Configuration
Manually searching through configuration files is a thing of the past: Under Configuration, AI automatically searches your server files, identifies the relevant settings, and translates them into easy-to-understand form fields organized by topic—with an explanation for each parameter. If you prefer the classic approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file instead. Both options are available in the same view. You’ll find your server’s most important startup values together in the Startup Parameters category.
After you save, ZapX immediately offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
DNS
Under DNS, you automatically get a free, easy-to-remember address for your server. You can also create additional subdomains or connect one of your own domains.
ZapX AI Agent
With ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent by your side—your personal on-demand server admin. In chat, it can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, show or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. You’ll be asked to confirm any action that changes your server beforehand—the AI Agent never acts on its own, so you always stay in full control.
Manage content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser: upload files with drag and drop, edit them online, rename them, or delete them. You’ll find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab under External Access.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create your own databases, view their credentials at a glance, and open them directly in phpMyAdmin.
Games & Variants
Under Games & Variants, you can see which variant is installed on your server and install, activate, or delete other games or variants.
Savegames
Under Savegames, you’ll find a dedicated file manager limited to your save folder. You’ll see only what you need, without having to navigate through the entire server file tree.
Operations and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server’s live output. For Foundry Virtual Tabletop, it displays logs only—ideal for keeping an eye on startup processes and error messages. You manage your worlds directly in the Foundry interface in your browser.
Backups
We automatically back up your server every day, so you always have a recent backup on hand without having to remember to create one yourself. With ZapX Pass, you get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup contains a complete version snapshot, so you can return to that exact state whenever you need to. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on your own schedule.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1, with Pro 3, and with Max 5 custom backup slots per server. See all the benefits on the ZapX Pass page. There’s also an account-wide storage limit for all backups of your services combined, daily backups included: 250 GB for Plus, 500 GB for Pro, and 1,000 GB for Max. If you need more, you can add extra backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.
Schedules
Under Schedules, you can automate recurring tasks such as starting, stopping, or restarting your server—and with ZapX Pass Pro, automatic backups too. Choose from handy presets like "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or create your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, you can monitor your server’s resource usage—CPU, RAM, disk, and network traffic—over a time period of your choice.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes and every backup. This lets you see exactly when changes were made.
DDoS Manager
Depending on your server’s location, you may also see the DDoS Manager. It displays incoming traffic live in a graph and lists past attacks with their time, duration, and peak bandwidth.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every part of your Foundry Virtual Tabletop game server management panel in ZapX—from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
