Start Here

What you can build on Falix, how templates work, and the basics every new server owner should know.

How app hosting on Falix works

The mental model behind every Falix app server — one Linux box, one folder of files, one Start button, and one public port.

Create your first app server

Create a server, choose an application, press Start, deploy a ready-made template, and change or delete it later — the whole first-server flow, click by click.

Environment variables and secrets

The two different things Falix calls "variables", and where your bot token and other secrets actually belong — a .env file, never your code or Git.

Keeping your app online

How the free session timer really works, why uptime pingers don't help, and the difference between a crash, a timeout, and a script that simply finished.

How one-click templates work

Drop a set of known-good starter files onto your server in one click — what actually happens, the overwrite and application-switch rules, and the ten templates available today.

What should I build first?

A quick chooser that points you at the right starter guide — a Minecraft world, a Discord bot, a website, or your first real app — with an honest word on how much time and code each one takes.

Protect your account

Your Falix account holds every server you own — and its password is also your SFTP login. Here's how to lock it down: a strong password, two-factor authentication, passkeys, and knowing what your active sessions page can do.

How updates reach your server

A clear mental model of what changes on your server and who changes it — panel updates from Falix, your own files from deploys and uploads, runtime versions you pick, and the reinstalls that wipe files. Know which is which and nothing surprises you.

Getting help the right way

The panel is built to help you help yourself — smart diagnostics, one-click log sharing that redacts secrets, and an AI assistant that can read your server. Here's the order to try things in, and exactly what to hand over when you do ask a human.

Free vs premium, honestly

Everything the free plan includes, everything premium changes, and a straight answer to "do I need to pay?" — in one comparison.
