http://localhost:8080
You will see the usulnet dashboard. This is where you control all your Docker containers and related settings.
From the dashboard, you can create new containers, monitor existing ones, set up VPNs, manage backups, and more. Everything is organized and easy to understand.
- Click “New Container” on the dashboard.
- Choose an app or image you'd like to run.
- Set options like ports or storage if needed.

usulnet shows real-time information about:
- CPU and memory use
- Network status
- Storage space left
- Running containers and their health
This helps you keep your system running smoothly.
To make sure you don’t lose your work:
- Go to the “Backups” section.
- Choose containers or files to back up.
