Server Restart and System Maintenance

The device on which SpaceBuilder is installed functions as the "server." This page guides you through restarting and maintaining the server.


Starting Automatically When the Computer Turns On

SpaceBuilder only runs while its executable is running. On a Linux server intended for continuous operation, we recommend configuring it to start automatically after the computer reboots.

Linux auto-start configuration must be written to match your installation location and the user running it. For checking the username, writing the configuration file, and starting/stopping and viewing logs, see Auto-Start Setup in the Linux Installation Guide, step by step.

Restarting the Server

Restarts the current server. Access may be briefly interrupted during the restart.

When a Restart Is Needed

  • After installing new plugins, AI models, and so on
  • If the background service remains in a Warning state or errors keep increasing
  • If response speed suddenly slows down or a feature stops working correctly

Server restart

Since ongoing uploads/downloads are interrupted during a restart, we recommend performing it at a time with fewer active users.

Metadata Cleanup

Finds and cleans up leftover records still linked to files that have already been deleted. Targets include file records, comments, and AI search data, and you can run only the items you select.
