On-call & Push

The on-call view is a mobile-first, home-screen-installable triage screen: what needs your attention across every server, wherever you are. Open it at citadels.cc/cloud/oncall (or from your account page). Citadel Cloud feature.

The triage view

A glanceable summary card tells you whether everything's clear or how many things need attention, then:

  • Per-server cards — online state, server-health alerts, and a count of flagged suspicious players, each linking into the console and replay.
  • Moderation queue (for admins and reviewers) — open appeals and high-impact bans awaiting review, linking to the admin queue.

It's a Progressive Web App — add it to your home screen for one-tap access that looks and feels like a native app.

Push notifications

Enable push from the on-call screen ("Enable push alerts on this device") and Citadel will notify you the moment something needs you:

  • A server crash / critical health anomaly (low FPS, entity spike, restart loop).
  • A suspicious player is newly flagged.
  • A new ban appeal or a high-impact ban awaiting review (moderators/reviewers).

Tapping a notification jumps straight to the relevant screen. Alerts are de-duplicated with a cooldown, so you won't get pinged repeatedly for the same thing.

Requirements & notes

  • Works in any browser that supports the Web Push standard (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and installed PWAs on Android; recent iOS supports push for home-screen web apps).
  • The server must have a VAPID keypair configured (VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY / VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY / VAPID_SUBJECT). Without it, the opt-in reports push unavailable.
  • Use Send test after enabling to confirm notifications arrive on your device.
  • Granular per-category preferences (choose which alert types push) are on the roadmap; today, enabling push opts you into the relevant alerts for your role.
