Server Management (Brainsalt Hub)

Last updated 23 July 2026

Brainsalt Hub is how you find, configure, and operate your Brainsalt B8/B9 media servers. This section covers everything about managing the server itself — as distinct from building a show in Backstage.

Start with the Brainsalt Hub desktop app to discover a server on your network and open its System Management web interface, where nearly all configuration lives.
