Using the Dashboard

bitloops dashboard is now a launcher. It opens the dashboard in your browser and starts the daemon if required.

Open The Dashboard​

bitloops dashboard

Behaviour:

  • If the daemon is already serving, Bitloops opens the current dashboard URL.
  • If the global service exists, Bitloops starts or reuses it.
  • Otherwise Bitloops prompts for foreground, detached, or always-on mode.

Start The Daemon Yourself​

bitloops start
bitloops start -d
bitloops start --until-stopped

The always-on mode installs or refreshes the global user service com.bitloops.daemon.

Useful Commands​

bitloops status
bitloops stop
bitloops restart

Default Bundle Location​

The dashboard bundle is treated as cache:

  • Linux example: ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-~/.cache}/bitloops/dashboard/bundle
  • macOS and Windows: the platform-equivalent cache location

Override it temporarily:

bitloops daemon start --bundle-dir /path/to/bundle

Or persist it in the daemon config:

[dashboard]
bundle_dir = "/path/to/bundle"

HTTPS Hints​

Local HTTPS hints also belong in the daemon config:

[dashboard.local_dashboard]
tls = true

Use bitloops daemon start --recheck-local-dashboard-net if you need Bitloops to re-evaluate the local TLS setup.
