Log Locations
Where to find Fabricator and Minecraft logs.
Fabricator service logs
sudo journalctl -u fabricator -f
sudo journalctl -u fabricator --since "1 hour ago"Dashboard/API errors
Backend exceptions and startup failures appear in the systemd journal. If the dashboard is blank, check the browser console and then the service logs.
Minecraft process output
Use the Console page for recent stdout/stderr from a running managed server. This is the same stream Fabricator uses for command interaction.
Server files
Minecraft also writes logs inside each server's install directory, usually under logs/. Use the Files page or SSH to inspect older log files.
playit.gg agent logs
The playit daemon writes a runtime log at /var/lib/fabricator/playit/playitd.log in packaged installs. Fabricator also reports lifecycle and claim errors in the service journal:
sudo journalctl -u fabricator -f
sudo tail -f /var/lib/fabricator/playit/playitd.logUpdate logs
Dashboard self-update runs through the bundled update wrapper. Check both the UI update status and journalctl -u fabricator when diagnosing failures.
