Take full control of your Dune Awakening self-hosted server \u2014 without ever opening a terminal.\n\nDASHS (Dune Awakening Self-Hosted Server monitor) is a native Windows desktop monitor and management console built for players who run their own Dune Awakening\u2122 dedicated server through Funcom's self-hosted server program. Instead of memorising PowerShell commands or SSH sessions, you get a clean, real-time dashboard that keeps you informed and in control with a few clicks.\n\nReal-time server monitoring\nDASHS polls your Hyper-V virtual machine and Kubernetes battlegroup every 10 seconds and surfaces everything you need at a glance \u2014 VM state, IP address, memory usage, CPU count, uptime, battlegroup status, pod count, director port, and a live feed of the latest battlegroup status output. A colour-coded status bar at the bottom of every page means you always know your server's health without navigating anywhere.\n\nComplete VM control\nStart and stop your Hyper-V virtual machine directly from the app. Rotate your SSH key pair with a single click \u2014 DASHS generates a new key, installs it on the VM, verifies it works, and only then replaces the old one so you are never locked out. Change the Linux user password securely over SSH without it ever touching a log file.\n\nFull battlegroup management\nStart, stop, and restart your battlegroup with one click. Check the full battlegroup status output, trigger updates to the latest server version, and edit your battlegroup configuration or advanced Kubernetes YAML \u2014 all from within the app. Enable experimental memory swap if your host machine is running tight on RAM.\n\nDatabase safety\nBack up your game database before any risky change and restore from a backup through a guided interactive session. Protecting your players' progress takes seconds.\n\nLog collection\nExport battlegroup and operator logs from all Kubernetes pods to your local Documents folder in one operation. Open the logs folder directly from the app without hunting through File Explorer.\n\nServer monitoring tools\nOpen the VM's built-in web file browser to edit INI configuration files and inspect server files from your browser. Launch the director dashboard to see travel queues, session health, and server status. Drop into a direct SSH shell on the VM or exec into any individual Kubernetes pod for advanced troubleshooting \u2014 all without leaving the app.\n\nStartup automation (optional \u2014 $4.99 one-time purchase)\nSet DASHS to launch automatically when you sign in to Windows, or for any user after a system reboot. Enable auto-start for the VM so it powers on the moment the app opens, and chain battlegroup auto-start so your server is fully running and ready for players without you needing to touch anything after a reboot.\n\nRequirements: Windows 10 or 11 Pro, Education, or Enterprise with Hyper-V enabled. Your Windows account must be a member of the local Administrators group. The Dune Awakening\u2122 Self-Hosted Server must be installed and initial-setup.ps1 must have been run at least once.\n\nDune Awakening\u2122 is developed and published by Funcom Oslo AS.
