Cockpit puts Linux server administration in a web browser, rendering storage, networking, containers, and virtual machines as visual panels you click through instead of command-line syntax you memorize. It ships in every major Linux distribution and activates through systemd socket activation, consuming zero resources until someone connects on port 9090. What makes it different from other admin panels: every change through the web interface appears instantly at the command line, and every terminal change reflects in the browser in real time. No abstraction layer sits between the UI and the operating system, which means no configuration drift. Storage management covers disk partitioning, RAID arrays, LUKS encryption, LVM volumes, and NFS shares. Network configuration handles bonds, bridges, VLANs, and firewall zones through visual editors. Native Podman integration pulls images, creates containers, manages pods, and provides terminal access into running processes. KVM/libvirt support handles VM creation, cloning, snapshots, and live migration with console access. A built-in terminal provides shell access when the web interface is not enough, and the journal viewer filters systemd logs by severity and unit. Multi-server management connects additional hosts over SSH, presenting a unified dashboard across your entire infrastructure from one browser tab. Runs on a dedicated RepoCloud VPS with full root SSH access and browser serial console. LGPL licensed.

With over 3,600 GitHub stars and a philosophy of deliberate simplicity, OliveTin eliminates the need for SSH sessions, admin panels, and complex automation platforms by letting you define shell commands in a YAML config file and access them as clickable buttons through a clean browser interface. The Go binary consumes only a few megabytes of RAM, running on everything from tiny ARM and RISC-V devices through Linux VMs, containers, macOS, and Windows. Each button executes a predefined shell command with optional typed arguments that render as dropdowns, text fields, and validated inputs, preventing free-form command entry while giving users controlled access to server operations. Access control lists define exactly who can view or run each action — guests, family members, or junior administrators see only the buttons they are permitted to use. Entity templates generate actions dynamically from lists of hosts, containers, or other resources, creating one template that produces many buttons without manual duplication. Flexible triggers extend beyond browser clicks: cron schedules, webhooks, calendar file events, and filesystem watchers run actions automatically when conditions are met. Authentication supports OAuth2, JWT, and header-based methods for integration with reverse proxies and identity providers. Dashboards organize actions into folders and fieldsets for clear navigation across dozens of commands. No plugin system, no extension marketplace, no premium tiers — every feature ships in the single open-source release. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Unpatched Linux servers expose production environments to critical vulnerabilities, and PatchMon eliminates that blind spot by centralizing package telemetry, security advisory tracking, and automated update orchestration across your entire fleet. Administrators can inspect pending updates across APT, DNF, YUM, APK, Pacman, Zypper, FreeBSD pkg, Windows Update, and winget from one unified queue without opening inbound firewall ports on monitored hosts. Before touching production workloads, operators run dry-run validations to preview exact package transactions, enforce multi-user approval workflows, and schedule rollouts during fixed maintenance windows. During execution, live agent output streams directly to the browser over WebSocket so engineers can watch progress in real time or halt a problematic upgrade mid-flight. Beyond package updates, the platform runs OpenSCAP CIS benchmark and Docker Bench security assessments, inventories running containers and outdated base images, and routes host-down or threshold alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, ntfy, or email. Built-in browser SSH and Apache Guacamole RDP terminals let teams troubleshoot machines directly through the outbound agent tunnel with role-based access control and OIDC single sign-on. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Komari turns a scattered fleet of VPS boxes into one clean status wall that shows which servers are alive, struggling, or about to expire. Every node reports CPU, GPU, memory, swap, disk, load, network speed, traffic totals, and uptime to a real-time dashboard, with history views from ten minutes to thirty days or any custom range. Flip between a card grid and a table, search by name, region, or operating system, and tag each machine with its price, billing cycle, and days until renewal. Latency tasks send ICMP, TCP, or HTTP probes and plot the results in per-node charts. Offline alerts wait out a per-node grace period before firing, expiry reminders warn before a plan lapses, and Webhook and custom JavaScript channels deliver them. A multi-tab browser terminal that reattaches after disconnects, remote command execution, and a remote file manager with an editor let you fix problems without leaving the panel. Agents install with a script, a binary, Docker, or an auto-discovery key for batch rollouts, and administrators can switch an agent's version remotely. Plugins run on an embedded JavaScript runtime and can add scheduled jobs, HTTP hooks, static pages, and notification channels. Administrators can add two-factor authentication, OAuth sign-in, API keys for a JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint, themes from a theme market, and backups. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
