#5I work for a company called Stackify and we have some similar features for remote management and access. Along with server monitoring and much more. If anyone is looking for this type of functionality in a commercial product check us out. http://Stackify.com

#6Founder of https://commando.io here. Cockpit looks nice, but we take a little different approach. We are a web-based interface to manage servers via SSH. You write "recipes" which are simply scripts in shell, bash, perl, python, ruby, go, or node.js and choose a server or group of servers to execute recipes on. The complete output (stdout and stderr) is then stored and logged providing a nice audit trail of who executed what, when, where, and why. We are currently in free open beta.

#7Mind blown. I thought this was some ordinary Python or Ruby app. It reminded me of Ajenti (http://ajenti.org/), which is nice admin panel.
But Cockpit is insane (not in a bad way).
[starting cockpit] will cause systemd to listen on port 21064
and start cockpit-ws when someone connects to it.
Cockpit-ws will in turn activate cockpitd via D-Bus when
someone logs in successfully.

Joey, have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison?

And I have to be honest: even as someone who likes systemd, the maintenance and security implications of this concern me.
I was looking at the code and was surprised to find only Javascript and C, but your quick summary on the implementation makes me want to watch from the sidelines, cautiously.
That said, very interesting project AFAICT.

That sounds more interesting.
I'm not looking for a a monolithic solution, but something in which I can integrate all of our current scripts, third party tools, semi-manual processes and what have you.
In the real world, server management is a mix of tons of little tools and procedures, usually run over SSH.
However, handing SSH access to our systems to a third party SaaS tools scares the crap out of me.
