The Convox Console is a free hosted service that manages and backs up your Convox Rack. It also provides some additional features such as a web interface, Slack notifications, workflows, a GitHub integration, audit logs, and paid support plans.
From Convox Docs: Rack Management:
“When you install a Rack from your CLI, the Terraform state (and subsequently the ability to update it) is kept locally. If you want your teammates to be able to manage, interact and update the Rack with you, you should move the Rack to be owned by an organization within the Convox Console.”
Convox also offers a self-hosted console that you can install and run inside your own Rack. You can contact the Convox sales team to learn more about this option: [email protected]
<aside> ⚠️
The DocSpring Enterprise installation script sets up a self-hosted, open-source Convox Rack. We manage the Rack exclusively through the Convox CLI. We also add some custom resources to your Terraform config to set up Postgres, Redis, and an S3 bucket.

If you would like to you move your rack to the Convox Console, you will first need to remove the RDS, ElastiCache, and S3 resources that were added to your config. You can create a separate Terraform config to manage this state separately. Once you are running a “vanilla” Convox Rack without any modifications, you can then migrate your rack to the Convox Console by using the rack mv command.
