Usage and access
After installation, Synconix Hosting Manager binds on all server IPs with the endpoints below. Access them over HTTPS. Open these ports in your firewall if needed.
| Port | Endpoint | Purpose | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
882 |
https://<server-ip-or-host>:882/ |
Synconix Hosting Manager (SHM) | Always |
883 |
https://<server-ip-or-host>:883/ |
Roundcube Webmail | When mail + webmail are installed |
884 |
https://<server-ip-or-host>:884/ |
phpMyAdmin | When phpMyAdmin is installed |
Firewall: allow inbound TCP
882, 883, and 884 on your server/external firewall as appropriate.
Sign-in & authentication
- Root login: sign in to the panel with the server’s
rootusername and the same system password. - User login: account users sign in with their system username and password.
- Password source of truth: credentials are read from the system’s
/etc/passwdand/etc/shadow(no separate panel password store). - Password changes: if a user changes their password with
passwd <user>, the new password works in the panel immediately (it follows/etc/shadow).
Domain shortcuts (friendly hostnames)
webmail.<domain>→ Webmail (port883): for every hosted domain, a vhostwebmail.<domain>is created that reverse-proxies directly to Roundcube on883(when installed).shm.<domain>→ Panel (port882): a vhostshm.<domain>is created that reverse-proxies to the Synconix panel on882.- Ensure DNS
A/AAAArecords forwebmail.<domain>andshm.<domain>point to your server IP(s). AutoSSL can cover these when DNS resolves locally.
Quick examples
- Panel:
https://server.example.com:882/orhttps://shm.example.com/ - Webmail:
https://server.example.com:883/orhttps://webmail.example.com/ - phpMyAdmin:
https://server.example.com:884/(if installed)
Note: If webmail or phpMyAdmin aren’t installed, their ports/hostnames won’t respond until those components are enabled.
