How it fits your work

Capabilities in context.

01

One-Click Provisioning

Provision a fully configured Sanctum 11ty CMS instance from the Hive dashboard in a single click — replacing a dozen manual SSH steps with an automated pipeline.

  • Repository creation and clone — auto-generates a new CMS repository from the Sanctum 11ty template
  • Apache virtual host configuration with automatic server name and document root setup
  • Let's Encrypt SSL certificate provisioning and auto-renewal via Certbot integration
  • Environment variable injection for database credentials, API keys, and per-instance configuration
02

Lifecycle Management

Manage the full lifecycle of every CMS instance from a single dashboard — start, stop, restart, update, and configure without ever touching a terminal.

  • PM2 process management with start, stop, restart, reload, and status monitoring per instance
  • One-click CMS updates via git pull and dependency reinstall, with pre-update backup and rollback
  • Configuration panel for environment variables, custom domain binding, and PHP/Node version selection
  • Instance metadata dashboard showing deployment date, last updated, git commit SHA, and resource usage
03

Health Monitoring

Real-time health monitoring across all managed instances with CPU, memory, disk, and uptime metrics — plus a centralised log viewer for debugging.

  • Live resource dashboard: CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network usage per instance with 30-day history
  • Uptime monitoring with configurable check intervals and multi-channel alerting (email, webhook, Telegram)
  • Centralised log viewer aggregating access logs, error logs, and PM2 process logs across all instances
  • Health score per instance combining uptime, response time, SSL expiry, and disk utilisation into a single grade
04

Full Instance Teardown

Tear down a CMS instance completely — or partially — with a single dashboard action. Every resource is cleaned up: files, database, virtual host, SSL, and DNS records.

  • Guided teardown wizard with checkboxes for selective removal: files, DB, vhost, SSL cert, or DNS
  • Pre-teardown snapshot with full backup archive before any destructive operation
  • Dry-run mode that lists every resource that would be affected without making changes
  • Post-teardown audit log recording exactly what was removed, when, and by which operator
