This is exactly the gap I needed filled, a proper desktop panel that manages my Linux servers over SSH without installing anything on them.

Is it open source?

Thank you...

Source code will be released day after tomorrow. I will add a comment in this thread itself, as well as update the site with a link to Github.

Thank you, I tried it, so far working great. One small thing I hit: when I tried connecting to a server I'd never connected to before, it refused at first with no clear error. I had to SSH in from my terminal once to accept the host key signature, and then it worked fine. Minor, but thought I'd pass it along. Great work!

Thank you for testing. I'll fix the issue.. tomorrow.. too tired as of now.

Potentially interesting - of it is at a minimum source-availble - preferably FOSS?

I assume it is vibe-coded, so would need a pretty thorough review before considering using it.

License and source availability not being on the page/faq suggest this is just a hobby project, I guess?

What's the business model - and what guarantees are provided that Serverbox[0] won't rug pull after a seed round from Dillon-Edwards[1]?

No financial incentive in mind or planned... I was building it for myself... then, spent a few days extra polishing it so others can use it as well.

yikes, no thanks.

Looks like TRUENAS if it was single-prompted. Also how will it know what my server runs if I install nothing on it? will my server just expose all information? I'm a bit confused why this was a design choice.

freakynit•50m ago

I just heard of TrueNAS for the first time in my life... So, checked google images.. there is some similarity for sure.

It detects the server OS "after SSH authentication" by running a small POSIX-shell probe.

It will not automatically expose "all information". It can access only what the SSH account can access.

Is this shipping wasm openssh or how does it work?

edit: nvm, for some reason I thought it runs in the browser.

The macOS installer is not notarized, and while adding an exception in Gatekeeper exists, not everyone would be willing to do that, especially currently when even the app source is unavailable.

freakynit•7m ago

Apple charges $99/year to be able to notarize a app. Plus, it has one years long bug that any random Apple developer account can get stuck in, and then, you just can't get it notarized. Have a look at this thread: https://github.com/electron/notarize/issues/205

I do agree that notarizing it would make installing much easier.

Also, source code is coming day after tomorrow.

All of these "written in rust" ai-slop tools lately. Means absolutely nothing, really.

vablings•15m ago

Pretty cool for those who are not running something like TrueNAS/FreeNAS/Proxmox. But then the question is why are you not. Even for MacOS im pretty sure you can glue up a raw bare metal box to Proxmox these days with Proxmox Datacenter Manager

ealhad•15m ago

I mean yeah sure, I'll give SSH access to a blackbox. "Don't worry — the app is safe."
