# Server management

> What every button on the server card does

[@lumivps\_bot](https://t.me/lumivps_bot) → **My servers** → server.

## Card

* **OS** – the installed system.
* **Plan** – CPU / RAM / NVMe.
* **Location** – the server country.
* **Server IP**, **User**, **Password** – login details, copied with a tap. How to log in: [Connection](https://wiki.lumiweb.cc/en/vps/connect.md).
* **Expires in** – days left.
* **Renewal price** – per month.
* **Status** – Provisioning, Active, Expiring, or Expired.
* **Refresh** – while the server is being set up, management is hidden. The button checks whether it is ready. The bot sends the login details by itself, usually within a few minutes.

## Buttons

* **Renew** – pick a term: the bot shows the price, the balance after the charge, and the new date. The amount is charged to the balance.
* **Restart** – a hard reboot.
* **Stop** / **Start** – power the server off or on.
* **Reinstall** – pick an OS, the bot installs it from scratch. Wipes all data and issues a new root password, the new details arrive in the chat within a few minutes. More: [Locations and OS](https://wiki.lumiweb.cc/en/vps/os.md).
* **Console** – the server web console in a browser, for when SSH or RDP is unreachable. The link is single-use and valid for a couple of minutes. Some servers have no console, then the bot suggests SSH.
* **Transfer** – hand the server over to another user, details below.
* **Upgrade** – opens support, an operator changes the plan.
* **Delete** – deletes the server with its data and snapshots, it cannot be restored. Unused time is not refunded.

No **Restart** and **Stop** on the card – reboot the server from inside: `reboot` on Linux.

## Root password

* **No separate button** – change the password on the server itself with `passwd`. The card keeps showing the old one.
* **Forgot the password** – **Reinstall** issues a new one but wipes the data. Need the data – write to [@lumisup\_robot](https://t.me/lumisup_robot).

## Rental term

* **Reminders** – 7 days before the end of the term and less than a day before it.
* **No auto-renew** – renew with the **Renew** button. A term of 3 months or more is 20% cheaper.
* **Term expired** – you have 7 days to renew. After that the server is deleted with its data and cannot be restored.

## Transfer

* **Recipient's Telegram ID** – numeric, not an @username. The recipient must have started [@lumivps\_bot](https://t.me/lumivps_bot) at least once.
* **Accept** / **Decline** – buttons on the recipient's side. The request is valid for 24 hours.
* **Cannot be transferred** – a server that is still being set up or has an operation running.
* **Root password** – stays the same, the previous owner knows it. The recipient should change the password or reinstall the OS.

## Through support

[@lumisup\_robot](https://t.me/lumisup_robot): a bigger plan, an extra IPv4, a PTR record.
