Cost & backups

Cost

Peak/off-peak pricing: weekdays 09:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 (Asia/Shanghai) are peak; weekends are off-peak all day. Per-run cost, the monthly total and the per-workspace breakdown all live on the cost page.

Backup / restore / update / autostart

Action	Command
Backup (plus 15-minute automatic snapshots and encrypted node-home archives)	`npm run backup [-- list]`
Restore (detects whether the manager is running; database and node homes together)	`npm run restore -- latest`
DR drill (temporary directory, full chain: backup → delete → restore → assert)	`npm run drill`
Self-update (backup → pull → build → health probe, automatic rollback)	`npm run update`
Start on boot	`npm run service -- install \\| uninstall \\| status`

[!WARNING] Node homes (sessions, skills, settings) are packed into automatic backups as encrypted archives — the key is derived from SESSION_SECRET, so losing .env means losing the ability to decrypt them.

Troubleshooting

Port already in use — the setup self-check names the port in red; change them with --ports 3081,3082.
DSH version warning — the local DSH differs from the verified version; --skip-version-check overrides it at your own risk.
The brain does not answer — check whether its node is online on the nodes page, and whether the budget breaker is on in the bell panel.
Forgot the login password — MANAGER_INITIAL_PASSWORD in .env only applies while no user exists in the database; otherwise use the backup/restore procedure above.
A machine shows as unreachable — its node agent has not sent a heartbeat for 90 seconds; check the agent service on that host (systemctl --user status dac-agent, or the scheduled task on Windows) and the firewall allow-list for the manager's egress IP.
