What is F-Bar FOR MAC?

F-Bar

F-Bar is a cool tool that helps you manage your PHP applications and cloud servers like AWS, DigitalOcean, or Linode. It connects to Laravel Forge, making it easy to keep an eye on everything right from your status bar.

Easy Server Management

With F-Bar, you can do a bunch of things like establish SSH connections, reboot your server, and deploy websites without breaking a sweat. When you first open the app, it'll ask for your Laravel Forge API key. If you're not sure where to find it, don't worry! There's an alert that'll point you to the Quickstart guide. You can grab this API key from your Laravel Forge profile page.

Multiple Accounts at Once

Once you have your API key ready, just pop it into the Laravel Forge Preferences window in F-Bar. You can even input multiple API keys! This means you can connect more than one Laravel Forge account at the same time, which is super handy.

Status Bar Convenience

The best part? F-Bar lists all your servers linked to each account right in the status bar menu. This makes it easy to reboot servers or services like MySQL and Nginx whenever you need to. Plus, deploying websites and adjusting configurations for Nginx and .env files is a breeze!

Always Connected

Your Laravel Forge accounts stay connected all the time. You get complete visibility of all servers in the menu bar. So whether you're monitoring sites or checking server status across multiple accounts, F-Bar has got your back!

Monitoring Made Simple

You can set F-Bar to send HTTP requests at intervals that work for you. If something goes wrong (like if the response isn't 200 OK), you'll get an alert! And if there's a site you want to keep out of sight temporarily, no problem—you can disable monitoring for that specific website.

Tweaks and Settings

If you're looking for more control, check out the Advanced server setup panel. You can hide specific sites from the menu bar or choose to see internal IPs when using Terminal or iTerm emulator for SSH connections.

A Smart Solution

Overall, F-Bar offers a simple yet effective way to keep track of multiple Laravel Forge accounts right from your status bar. Whether it's checking server statuses or deploying websites—everything's within reach!
