A User Service is an automatically managed process on Zo Computer. Service modes:
  • “http” — public or private web service with a URL endpoint
  • “tcp” — public TCP service with a host:port endpoint
  • “process” — supervised background process with no public endpoint
Visibility (HTTP only):
  • public: reachable at *.zocomputer.io without auth
  • private: reachable at *.zo.computer, requires the owner to sign in.
  • TCP services are always public. Process services have no endpoint.
You can change a service’s mode in place instead of deleting and recreating it.
