Manage your node

Once a dig-node is running, you operate it through a small set of admin RPCs — separate from the public dig RPC read methods — and, if you use the DIG Browser, through the My Node UI that drives those same RPCs.

The control.* admin RPCs​

The control.* namespace exposes operator actions that are not part of the public read surface (they require local/admin authority), for example:

  • status — health, version, uptime, and the resolved listeners.
  • cache — inspect the .dig cache (capsules held), and prune/evict.
  • peers / upstream — the upstream the node blind-fetches from and any peer state.

These are admin-scoped: a remote reader hitting the public dig RPC can never call them.

The DIG Browser Control Pane​

The DIG Browser ships a Control Pane that manages your local dig-node over the control.* RPCs — see its status, watch the shared cache, manage hosted stores and sync, all without the command line.

Open it from the Control Pane button in the toolbar (next to the wallet and shields buttons). It opens full-page in the active tab and behaves honestly:

  • If a node is running (at dig.local or localhost) → it shows the management view driven by the control.* admin RPCs.
  • If no node is found → it shows a short page on how to install a dig-node. You can still browse normally — reads fall back to the network — a node is only needed for the management view.
