Administration

Mockoon Pro includes an administration portal to manage team members, system settings, mock server deployments, and monitoring.

 Dashboard

The Dashboard (/dashboard) provides an operational overview of your instance. It displays key metrics (total synchronized environments, active mock instances, registered members, and currently connected users), a live list of deployed mock APIs with direct links to their subdomain URLs, and a single-click button to open the embedded web app (/app).

 Settings

The Settings page (/settings) is accessible to the Owner role:

  • License & allocation: Review your plan, total license pool, adjust user and instance allocations, and update your license key.
  • Allowed email domains: Restrict member invitations and logins to approved corporate domains.
  • Authentication mode: Switch between local database accounts and OpenID Connect (OIDC) SSO (see authentication documentation for more details).

 Licensing

Mockoon Pro licenses operate 100% offline. The server validates your license key cryptographically and never contacts external servers.

Your license provides a total pool of licenses that you can freely allocate between users (seats) and deployed mock instances.

Your license key determines:

  • Plan tier: Team or Enterprise.
  • Total licenses count: Total capacity available for allocation.
  • Expiration date: The license validity period.

 Allocating licenses

In Settings (/settings), you can adjust how your total licenses are distributed between:

  • Users (seats): Number of team members (active users and pending invitations).
  • Instances: Number of concurrently running deployed mock APIs.

For example, with a 30-license key, you can allocate 10 seats for your team and 20 instances for mock deployments, and adjust this ratio at any time as your needs evolve.

 License renewal & updates

When renewing or upgrading your license:

  1. Obtain your new license key from your Mockoon customer portal or sales representative.
  2. Log in as the Owner and go to Settings (/settings).
  3. Paste the new key into Update License Key.
  4. Click Save Changes.

The license is applied immediately without restarting the server or interrupting active mock APIs.

 Storage & backups

Mockoon Pro stores all application state (database, settings, user accounts, and mock environments) in a single persistent storage directory (/data in containers).

 Backups

  1. Volume snapshots (Recommended): Take periodic snapshots of the persistent volume attached to /data.
  2. File archives: 
    Copy
    tar -czvf /backup/mockoon-data-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz -C /data .

 Restoring

  1. Extract your backup archive into the storage directory (/data).
  2. Start the container with the storage volume attached.
  3. The server automatically detects existing data and resumes operation without triggering setup.

 Upgrades

When updating to a new version, pull the latest image and restart your container. All data in /data is preserved and migrated automatically on startup. See the Installation guide for setup configurations.
