Servers

Servers are the infrastructure that runs caster instances. The caster handles NTRIP access; the server provides the compute resources, IP address, and network ports.

See YouCORS dedicated NTRIP infrastructure for an overview of the service before choosing the resources for your setup.

Server list

The section shows the servers in the account. Open a server to view its state, connected instances, and technical metrics.

If there are no servers yet, the interface offers to create one. Before creating a server, check your plan limits. The number and size of servers you can run depends on the subscription.

Creating a server

The server form asks for:

• Name: a clear internal name;
• Region: the data center where the server will run;
• Size: CPU and memory.

Choose a region close to the base stations and users that care about latency. Choose the size based on expected load: number of casters, active sessions, and connection volume.

Server page

From the server page you can:

• view the current status;
• request a fresh status check;
• view server stats;
• see which instances are running on the server;
• check those instance statuses;
• reboot the server;
• rename or delete the server.

Status and stats actions ask the backend for up-to-date information. That matters because server state can change outside the page during installation, rebooting, or provider-side issues.

How servers relate to casters

A server is useful because it runs instances. One server can host more than one instance if it has enough resources and available ports.

When you create a caster instance, you choose a server and set the NTRIP and HTTP ports. That means the server must exist before the instance can be created.

Rebooting and deleting

Rebooting can help when a server is stuck, not responding, or needs system-level changes applied. Keep active connections in mind: bases and rovers may disconnect while the server restarts.

Delete a server only after checking the instances attached to it. If production casters are running there, deleting the server will stop those connections.
