Scripts

Overview

The Scripts page lets you save frequently used bash commands so you can run them again on your servers and sites whenever you need, and browse scripts shared by other users.

Open the Scripts page from the Scripts item in the left menu. The page has two tabs:

• My Scripts: the scripts you have created.
• Marketplace: scripts that other users have shared and that have been approved.

The search box in the top-right corner filters the list in the open tab.

Create a script

1. Click Add Custom Script.
2. Enter a memorable name in the Memo field.
3. Enter the bash content in the editor.
4. (Optional) Check Share your script to the marketplace to share the script on the Marketplace tab (see Share a script).
5. Click Add Custom Script (or press Ctrl/⌘ + S) to save.

The new script appears in the My Scripts tab.

Manage your scripts

The My Scripts tab shows the Memo, Content (truncated), and Share columns. The Share column shows the sharing status:

• -: not shared.
• Question mark icon (Reviewing): waiting for administrator approval.
• Check mark icon (Shared): visible on the Marketplace tab.

Actions:

• View the full content: click a row to expand it and see the whole script.
• Edit: click the edit icon, change the content in the Edit Custom Script dialog, then click Edit Custom Script.
• Delete: click the delete icon and confirm in the Delete Custom Script dialog.

Share a script

When you check Share your script to the marketplace, the script is submitted for administrator review. Once approved, it appears on the Marketplace tab with your name and avatar.

• If a shared script's content is changed, it must be reviewed again.
• To stop sharing, edit the script, uncheck Share your script to the marketplace, and save.

WARNING

Do not put passwords, tokens, secret keys, or private information in a shared script, because every user can read its content.

Use scripts from the marketplace

The Marketplace tab shows the Memo, Author, and Content columns. An author with a check mark next to their avatar is a verified account.

• Click a row to see the whole script.
• Click Copy to copy the script content.
• Click Save to My Scripts to open the create dialog with the content pre-filled. Edit it if needed, then click Add Custom Script to save it as your own script. The author's original script is not changed.

WARNING

Always read another user's script carefully before running it on your servers.

Notes & warnings

• Note: Scripts run non-interactively, so you cannot enter input or passwords while they run. Use auto-confirm options such as -y for commands that prompt.
• Note: Use full paths in your scripts, for example /home/flashpanel/example.com, so they work wherever they run.
• Warning: A script that runs as root when connecting a new server has full control of the server. Review it carefully before using it.
• Note: Old links to the scripts page in the account area automatically open the My Scripts tab.
