Fabricator

File manager

The Files page lets you navigate inside a selected server’s install directory and edit UTF-8 text files.

Path safety

Section titled “Path safety”

Fabricator resolves every file path relative to the server’s install path and rejects attempts to escape that directory. This protects the host from browser requests such as ../../etc/passwd.

Browsing

Section titled “Browsing”

Directory listings include:

  • File or directory name.
  • Size in bytes.
  • Last modified timestamp.
  • Relative path from the server root.
  • isDir flag.

Directories are sorted before files.

Reading and editing files

Section titled “Reading and editing files”

Fabricator can read and write UTF-8 text files. Binary or non-UTF-8 files are rejected for text reads. Writes require the server lock, so Fabricator will not edit a file while another mutating operation is active.

Good candidates for the file editor:

  • server.properties
  • whitelist.json, ops.json, and ban files when you know what you are doing
  • Mod/plugin config text files
  • Logs or generated text files for inspection

Avoid editing large binary files, region files, JARs, or archives through the text editor.

Section titled “Related endpoints”
  • GET /api/servers/<server_id>/files?path=<relative-dir>
  • GET /api/servers/<server_id>/files/content?path=<relative-file>
  • PUT /api/servers/<server_id>/files/content
