ShellMan

ShellMan is a lightweight, agentless Linux server management tool that flips the traditional panel architecture on its head. Instead of installing heavy daemons like cPanel, Webmin, or Cockpit on your VPS (which eat 300MB - 800MB of RAM), you run ShellMan locally on your laptop or desktop.

It connects to your servers exclusively over standard OpenSSH (Port 22) and SFTP, meaning your remote servers dedicate 100% of their compute and memory to your actual workloads.

Key Features: • Agentless Design: 0 MB persistent RAM overhead on managed servers. • Real Interactive PTY Terminal: Full support for vim, htop, and tmux via xterm.js. • Multi-Window Desktop OS UI: Move, resize, and snap application windows just like a native OS. • SFTP File Manager: Recursive drag-and-drop, Monaco (VS Code) editor integration, and batch operations. • Nginx & SSL Automation: 1-click reverse proxy routing, Certbot SSL issuance, and Cloudflare 15-year Origin CA certificates. • Git Deployments & Rsync: Visual git pulls with webhooks and Agentless Rsync (Local <-> Remote). • Live Netstat & DDoS Monitor: Real-time socket telemetry and SYN_RECV flood detection. • Visual Cron & 2FA: Native TOTP 2FA security and an interactive crontab manager.

Run it locally with Python, open your browser to localhost, and manage your entire fleet without ever exposing an admin port to the public internet.
