Point your RustDesk clients at CortenDesk and the bare open-source server turns into a managed fleet console with a real address book, real access control, and a remote client that lives in the browser. One container runs the ID server, the relay, and the console together, and existing key pairs and device IDs move in unchanged, so migration is a hostname change rather than a rebuild. The fleet view shows live presence, platform, aliases, owners, and last-seen for every machine, organized into folders that double as the unit of access control. People see only their own devices plus the groups granted to them, and the same scoping is enforced in the RustDesk client API, not just the web pages. Policies push client settings over the heartbeat, covering permissions, password rules, and capture behavior, and enforced policies revert local changes automatically. Five audit logs record connections, file transfers, sign-ins, security alarms, and console actions, all filterable and exportable to CSV. When a browser is all you have, the built-in web client views and controls machines with file transfer, clipboard, audio, and multi-monitor switching, no installer required.

Helping someone fix their computer should not start with a phone call full of instructions nobody can follow: ControlR puts every machine you look after into one browser tab. Install the agent on Windows, Mac, or Linux machines once, and they appear in your device grid with their status ready for action. Open a remote desktop session and see and control the screen as if you were sitting there, drop into a cross-platform PowerShell terminal when a fix is faster typed than clicked, browse the file system to fetch a log or drop off a file, or just open chat when a quick question is all that is needed. Devices are organized with tags, and access follows them: a technician sees the machines their tags cover, while roles decide who can install agents, manage installer keys, administer the tenant, or reach every device. Agent logs stream to the server in real time, which turns bug reports into something you can actually read. Run one tenant for your own fleet, or enable public registration and let each new account become its own isolated tenant, with the database keeping every tenant's devices and users apart. Sensitive settings can arrive through Docker Secrets instead of environment variables, and the whole server runs from a single compose file.

With over 7,000 GitHub stars and continuous development since 2017 by former Intel engineer Ylian Saint-Hilaire, MeshCentral has become the go-to self-hosted alternative to ConnectWise Control and Splashtop for managing devices remotely without per-seat licensing fees. The Node.js server installs via a single npm command and manages Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD endpoints through lightweight agents that maintain persistent WebSocket connections for real-time remote desktop, terminal access, and file transfer directly in the browser. Intel AMT integration provides out-of-band hardware management including power control and BIOS access even when the operating system is unresponsive. Device groups organize endpoints by location, customer, or function with granular role-based access control for multi-technician environments. Session recording captures remote desktop interactions for compliance auditing, while Wake-on-LAN powers on machines remotely across subnets. The server supports MongoDB for production deployments handling thousands of agents or the embedded NeDB for smaller setups under 200 devices, with a single 8GB VPS comfortably managing 1,500 concurrent agents. Security features include mandatory TLS with automatic Let's Encrypt certificate provisioning, multi-factor authentication via TOTP and FIDO2, SAML-based single sign-on, IP filtering, and HashiCorp Vault integration for secrets management. The web console provides real-time device monitoring with hardware and software inventory, network topology visualization, and customizable branding. TacticalRMM uses MeshCentral as its remote access layer. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.

Terminals, remote desktops, and file browsers for every server you run: Nexterm opens them over SSH, VNC, RDP, Telnet, or SFTP from a self-hosted web page. Servers live in folders with tags and custom icons. Connections open as tabs or split views, keep running across browsers and devices, and can hibernate and resume later. The file manager handles SFTP and FTP: drag files in, upload whole folders, search, and edit in place with syntax highlighting. Live metrics track CPU, memory, disk, network, and processes for each host. Snippets store the commands you retype most. Scripts run whole maintenance jobs. Git repositories added as sources bring ready-made ones filtered by operating system. Organizations share servers through role-based permissions, and every action is logged. Record full terminal sessions for audits and training, or send a shared-session link so a colleague can join, read-only or writable. Authentication covers local accounts with TOTP and passkeys, OIDC providers such as Keycloak, Authentik, and Microsoft Entra ID, and LDAP or Active Directory. Saved passwords, SSH keys, and passphrases stay encrypted at rest. A Proxmox integration lists LXC containers and QEMU virtual machines and can start or stop them. An opt-in AI assistant drafts shell commands from plain-language requests.

Termix delivers a unified, self-hosted infrastructure control center that consolidates SSH terminals, remote desktop streaming, and fleet automation into an intuitive browser workspace that replaces proprietary tools like Termius. Administrators connect to Linux servers and desktop environments using embedded RDP, VNC, and Telnet protocols powered by Apache Guacamole without requiring local client installations. The multi-panel terminal interface supports four-way split screens, allowing operators to broadcast keystrokes simultaneously across multiple production hosts or execute saved reusable script snippets with dynamic parameters. Real-time multiplayer session sharing lets engineers invite teammates via secure, time-limited links with configurable read-only or collaborative write permissions for troubleshooting incidents. Advanced networking layers handle SSH jump hosts, SOCKS5 proxy chains, Warpgate relays, and port knocking sequences to access segmented private networks securely. Integrated SFTP file managers provide drag-and-drop file transfers with editable path bars, inline text editing, and folder synchronization across remote machines. Background telemetry monitors CPU loads, memory utilization, disk IOPS, and container statuses, while built-in session recording captures complete terminal sessions for compliance auditing.

Every server, embedded board, and edge gateway you manage becomes reachable through one SSH address in ShellHub, even when it sits behind NAT with no public IP and no open inbound port. A small agent on each device dials out to your server, so a box on a customer LAN or a cellular link needs nothing beyond outbound web access. Connect with the stock ssh client by typing [email protected]@server, or open a terminal in the browser, and scp, sftp, rsync, and port forwarding work unchanged. SSH identities tie every key to a named team member, so removing someone ends their access on every device at once. Default-deny access policies grant or block members, roles, users, or API keys by device tag, Linux login, and source address, and can require a fresh browser confirmation before a session opens. Provisioning keys enroll whole fleets through automatic, manual, webhook, or allowlist acceptance, with usage limits, expiry dates, and tags. The Sessions page records who connected to which device, as which login, and from where, and browser terminals can be recorded and replayed. A Docker connector turns containers into devices that policies can grant one by one. Four member roles shape what each person can change, and the HTTP API, API keys, and an MCP server let scripts and AI assistants list devices and review sessions.

Breeze is an open-source RMM and PSA platform for MSPs that watches every managed device, and its built-in AI operator investigates alerts and drafts fixes for your approval. See live CPU, memory, disk, and network health for the whole fleet, with hardware and software inventory on every Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoint. Approve and deploy operating system and application patches in rings and maintenance windows, or push scripts and software to hundreds of devices at once. Open a remote terminal, browse files, or take over the desktop with multi-display support when a user needs hands-on help. Network discovery scans each site for unmanaged devices, while configuration policies and drift checks keep machines aligned with your baseline. Tickets, time entries, quotes, and invoices live beside the device work, so a resolved issue becomes a billable record without a second system. Clients get their own portal to raise requests and follow progress, and the multi-tenant structure keeps every customer separate from day one. When the AI operator acts, tiered approvals and a full audit log show exactly what it did and who allowed it.

Warpgate is a clientless bastion host and privileged access management gateway that lets engineering teams secure, assign, and audit access to internal SSH servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, web applications, and remote desktops from a single portal without installing VPN clients. Connect directly from standard tools like OpenSSH, VS Code Remote, psql, mysql, kubectl, or native RDP clients using formatted credentials, or launch browser-based SSH terminals, RDP desktops, and VNC sessions straight from the web interface. Administrators map users and roles to specific internal targets with granular 1:1 permissions, enforcing multi-factor authentication via TOTP and Single Sign-On through OpenID Connect providers like Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta with automatic group-to-role provisioning. Every interactive terminal command, database query, HTTP request, and remote desktop session is captured in real time so security auditors can watch active connections live or replay historical recordings on demand from the web dashboard. Built-in brute-force defense automatically blocks suspicious IP addresses and locks compromised accounts, while temporary access tickets, just-in-time session approvals, encrypted credential storage, and S3-compatible recording archival support enterprise compliance workflows across multi-node clusters.

With over 21,000 GitHub stars and six years of steady development through version 3.1.0, Neko transforms any Docker container into a fully interactive browser or desktop environment streamed to web browsers via WebRTC with sub-300-millisecond glass-to-glass latency. The Go backend captures X server display frames using the Pion WebRTC library while the Vue.js frontend renders the remote session with native audio synchronization, delivering a significantly smoother experience than Apache Guacamole or noVNC which rely on image-over-WebSocket approaches. Multiple users simultaneously view and collaboratively control the same session with real-time input synchronization and host-managed control passing between participants. Pre-built Docker images cover Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome, Tor Browser, Brave, Vivaldi, and Microsoft Edge alongside full desktop environments including XFCE and KDE for running any Linux application. Neko Rooms provides multi-tenant deployment with a REST API for programmatic room provisioning, while Neko Apps extends the platform with additional containerized applications beyond browsers. Sessions persist on the server independently of client connections — close your laptop, reconnect from your phone, and resume exactly where you left off. Optional VPN and Tor integration routes traffic through encrypted tunnels for privacy-sensitive browsing. RTMP broadcasting streams sessions to external platforms. The embeddable client supports iframe integration for custom portals and applications. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Your pi agent is mid-refactor on the server at home, you are on a train with only a phone, and Pi-Remote is the self-hosted relay that puts that live session in your browser so the work does not wait for your desk. Output, tool calls, and status changes sync in real time, with incremental catch up after a reconnect, and the session itself never leaves the local pi process. Send messages while pi is busy and they queue or steer, with delivery confirmed; switch the model or thinking level, compact the context, fork or clone a session, and walk the session tree, all executed locally. Several machines share one relay, and the UI lists each device, its online state, and its sessions, and can start a new session on the device you pick. Link a device by scanning a QR code, checking the 2 digit code on the confirmation page, and approving with the admin token. Desktop and mobile get separate layouts with six skins in Cursor, Claude, and Codex looks, dark and light, and token and cost usage updates in the status area. At home the relay can run serverless over the LAN, with a Cloudflare Tunnel switched on when you leave; on a server it runs under systemd or Docker Compose, and a device stays reachable only while its attach window is open.

Fleet lets IT and security teams query every device in their organization like a SQL database, using osquery to surface installed software, running processes, configurations, and vulnerabilities within seconds across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. The Go-based server exposes a web console and REST API for centralized device management, with MDM capabilities built on nanoMDM for Apple device enrollment, configuration profiles, and remote lock or wipe. Vulnerability management cross-references installed software inventories against NVD and OVAL CVE databases, automatically flagging known vulnerabilities with severity scores and remediation guidance. Software deployment handles OS updates using Apple Declarative Device Management, Windows Update, and custom installer packages distributed through S3-compatible storage. A GitOps workflow enables infrastructure-as-code management where device policies, osquery queries, and configuration profiles live as YAML files in Git repositories, with CI/CD pipelines pushing changes through the fleetctl CLI. The fleetd agent bundle includes osquery for telemetry, Orbit for version management, and Fleet Desktop providing end users a menu bar status indicator. Integrations connect to Snowflake, Splunk, Elastic, Jira, Zendesk, Vanta, and GitHub Actions for automated compliance reporting. CIS benchmark policies verify security baselines across operating systems. Deployment requires MySQL for persistence and Redis for caching, running as Docker containers or on Kubernetes.
