# Lavalink Control

> NexCloud Managed Lavalink servers are controlled through a dedicated web panel. Customers do **not** receive file manager, SFTP, console, or server-side file access.

The control panel is the primary interface for managing your Lavalink service.

### Opening the Panel

Your Lavalink panel URL is provided in your server description by NexCloud staff.

It normally follows this format

```text theme={null}
http://IP:PORT/control
```

For example

```text theme={null}
http://n4.nexcloud.in:3002/control
```

Open the URL in your browser to access the Lavalink Control Panel.

### Dashboard

After opening the panel, you will see the Lavalink dashboard.

The dashboard provides basic information about your instance, including:

* **Players** — Current connected players.
* **Playing** — Players currently playing audio.
* **Sources** — Available audio sources configured for your instance.
* **Online Status** — Current availability of the Lavalink service.

This information is provided for monitoring your Lavalink instance.

### Changing Lavalink Password

The control panel includes a password management option.

* Open your Lavalink Control Panel.
* Find **Change Lavalink Password**.
* Enter your new password.
* Confirm the password.
* Click **Save Password**.
* Update the password in your Discord bot's Lavalink configuration.

After changing the password, existing applications using the previous password may no longer be able to connect.

### Using Lavalink With Your Bot

To connect your Discord bot to the managed Lavalink server, use the connection information provided by NexCloud.

You will generally need:

* **Host / IP**
* **Port**
* **Password**

Enter these details in your bot's Lavalink configuration according to the Lavalink client/library you are using.

The control panel itself is **not** used to connect your Discord bot. It is used to monitor and manage the Lavalink service.

### What You Cannot Access

Managed Lavalink customers do not have direct access to the underlying server.

The following are **not available**:

* Lavalink configuration files
* Docker configuration
* System-level settings
* Server-side plugin/file management

This is intentional because the Lavalink environment is managed by NexCloud.

### Need a Configuration Change ?

If you need something that cannot be changed from the control panel, contact NexCloud Support.

NexCloud staff can review the request and make supported server-side changes where applicable.

> **Important:** Do not attempt to access or modify the underlying Lavalink server. Managed Lavalink instances are maintained by NexCloud.
