“Is my domain pointed here?” — answered in one click

There's a moment in every setup where you've bought a domain, typed something into your registrar, and now you're staring at a browser wondering: did that work? The traditional answer involves obscure lookup tools and a lot of squinting. MAESTRO turns it into a sentence.

The checker that speaks human

Open Domains & DNS, type your domain, press Check it. You get one of two clear answers:

• ✅ "yourdomain.com points at this server." Go ahead and install things on it.
• ⚠️ "It doesn't point here yet" — along with exactly what to add at your registrar, and the address to point at. No jargon, no guessing.

It also shows whether your mail records are in place, so you know if email will actually be trusted. And every domain your server already serves is listed with its padlock status — you can see at a glance which ones have HTTPS working.

A window into your server's files

The new Files room lets you look inside the places that matter — your websites, your configuration, your logs — right in the browser. Click through folders, open a file, read it. When something misbehaves, you can look at the actual log without opening a terminal or remembering a single command.

It's deliberately fenced: MAESTRO shows you the areas it manages and nothing else can be wandered into. Safety by design, not by warning label.

And yes — you can just ask

"Is shop.example.com pointed at this server?" · "Show me the caddy logs." · "What domains am I serving?" The assistant runs the checks and reads the logs for you, then explains what it found.

Half of running a server is simply knowing what's true right now. That part just got easy.
