# Control the Service

## Windows / macOS​

- When launched through the tray app, the backend service starts together with the tray.
- To stop it, choose `Exit` from the tray menu.
- For troubleshooting, you can use `start-backend.cmd` or `start-backend.command` to launch the backend in terminal mode.

## Linux​

- Linux packages are usually started by running the backend binary directly or with `start-backend.sh`.
- Close the terminal window or stop the process to shut the service down.

## Docker / Compose​

- If you started the app with `docker compose up -d`, container lifecycle management controls the service.
- Use `docker compose down` to stop it.

## Accessing the Console​

- In tray mode, the app will usually open the web console for you automatically.
- If the browser does not open, you can open `http://127.0.0.1:46990/` manually.

## Auto Start and Updates​

- If you want it to start with the system, add the tray app or backend program to system startup.
- When an update is applied from the update panel, the app may restart automatically.
