Bulk Import Servers - Flutter Server Box

Import multiple server configurations at once using a JSON file.

JSON Format

:::danger[Security Warning] Never store plaintext passwords in files! This JSON example shows a password field for demonstration only, but you should:

Prefer SSH keys (pubKeyId) instead of pwd - they're more secure
Use secret managers or environment variables if you must use passwords
Delete the file immediately after import - don't leave credentials lying around
Add to .gitignore - never commit credential files to version control :::

json

[
  {
    "name": "My Server",
    "ip": "example.com",
    "port": 22,
    "user": "root",
    "pwd": "password",
    "pubKeyId": "",
    "tags": ["production"],
    "autoConnect": false
  }
]

Fields

Field	Required	Description
`name`	Yes	Display name
`ip`	Yes	Domain or IP address
`port`	Yes	SSH port (usually 22)
`user`	Yes	SSH username
`pwd`	No	Password (avoid - use SSH keys instead)
`pubKeyId`	No	Private key id (from Private Keys - recommended)
`tags`	No	Organization tags
`autoConnect`	No	Auto-connect on startup
`id`	No	Stable server id; omitted or empty values are generated on import

Import Steps

Create JSON file with server configurations

Tips

Test connection after import
Organize with tags for easier management

Never commit JSON files with credentials to version control
