Web UI

The Waveshift Web UI is a browser-based control panel for operating your Waveshift deployment. It runs on the orchestrator host and is served over HTTPS at the URL you set during deployment (typically console.waveshift.<your-domain>).

This section is a tour of every page in the UI — click any thumbnail below to jump straight in.

Sign in Sign in Sign in Egress Servers Egress Servers Egress Servers Nodes Nodes Nodes Files Files Files
Workspaces Workspaces Workspaces Profile Profile Profile Administration Administration Administration

Administrators land on the admin dashboard after signing in; everyone else lands on Egress Servers.

Sign-in and identity

You sign in with the username and password your administrator configured. Sessions are tracked via HTTP-only cookies; the API key is never exposed to the browser. See Signing in for the login flow.

Two views: Admin and User

Admin accounts see an additional Admin mode in the sidebar — a toggle at the top of the navigation lets you switch between User mode (Egress Servers, Nodes, Workspaces, Files, Profile) and Admin mode (org-wide dashboard plus the eight administration sections). Workspaces and Files only appear if your account holds the workspaces and storage licences respectively.

The mode is derived from the URL: anything under /admin/* is admin mode, everything else is user mode. A regular user never sees the toggle, and any attempt to visit /admin/* redirects them to the Egress Servers page.

Layout

Every page shares the same shell:

  • Sidebar (left) — primary navigation. Collapses to a 68 px icon rail on desktop (click the round chevron button on the sidebar's right edge) and to a slide-in drawer on mobile (hamburger button). Sidebar state persists across reloads.
  • Header (top) — the breadcrumb trail for the current page sits here, along with a dark/light theme toggle and the user menu (your avatar, top right) for Profile, About, and Sign out.
  • Main content — the active page.

Theming

Light and dark modes are both first-class. The toggle in the header remembers your choice across reloads. Colour treatment matches the rest of the Waveshift product — charcoal chrome with the brand red reserved for destructive actions and brand accents.

Mobile

Every page is responsive. The sidebar collapses below the md breakpoint (~900 px) into a slide-in drawer reachable via the hamburger icon in the header. Tables scroll horizontally where appropriate, and dialogs adapt to the available width.
