Architecture

MeshCentral joins aproxy and backend. It uses local data directories plus Docker volumes for MongoDB/configuration and backups.

Installation

Current deployment source is missing. Reconstruct Compose from docker inspect, validate backup paths, and test in isolation before recreation.

Configuration

  • Data: /root/meshcentral/data:/opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data
  • User files: /root/meshcentral/data/user_files:/opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-files
  • Docker volumes: /data/db, /data/configdb, /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-backups
  • Restart policy: always

Operational Procedures

docker logs --tail=200 meshcentral
docker inspect meshcentral
docker restart meshcentral

Back up all bind mounts and named volumes. Confirm agent connectivity and one remote session after maintenance.

Troubleshooting

  • Agent disconnects: check public route, port 8086, certificates, and server URL.
  • Database errors: check MongoDB volumes and capacity.
  • Missing files: verify bind-mount ownership.
