Show HN: Linux server management over SSH – written in Rust and Tauri

ahriad

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?

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]? [0] https://stupidlabs.lol [1] https://clownpenisf.art

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.

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.

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

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

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

It's free but not open-source?

Every time I connect to my server I receive a Delivery Status Notification (Failure) email from my gmail address as if it tries to use my phpmailer to send an email to testing@example.com edit: the email comes from my website, when I connect a new user is created in my website with random name and that email address.. DOESN’T SEEM SAFE AT ALL!

Clearly vibe-coded. Hard pass.

Are you guys really letting a (as of now) non FOSS, presumably vibecoded app have access to your servers, presumably as root, as most people don't follow best practices?

Beautiful, I have a fetish for beautiful software so here goes my upvote ^ I believe more Rust/Tauri apps will flood the market as that's the best combo right now for desktop apps in universal knowledge reusability for those who come from the web world HTML, CSS, JS. Simplicity and portablility Just downloaded it and at 8MB is a thing of joy to see apps small again

OMG cool app, let me share my ip and cert

Only problem of course is that it's unlikely that this even exists in 5 years.

Man as someone thar was on the verge of going all in on programming is so demoralizing to see how easy it is to release pure SLOP nowdays
