SEServerBox
ServerBox is a cross-platform client for server metrics, SSH, SFTP, and container/service management; background monitoring features require its Monitor agent.
About this project
ServerBox is a client for viewing server status and managing machines through tools such as SSH and SFTP. The interface combines status charts with terminals, files, processes, containers and services. It connects to servers you already control; installing the client does not provide a server or establish access credentials.
The README offers iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux installation paths, with watchOS as a companion. Android has release and F-Droid routes, desktop packages are available from GitHub, and macOS also has Homebrew. The App Store macOS build is for Apple Silicon; a GitHub iOS IPA is unsigned and needs separate signing.
The main code is AGPL-3.0. Access requires server connection credentials and sufficient permissions for the selected operation. Background monitoring features use the separate Monitor agent, so they have an additional server-side component. Client packages, server privileges and optional monitoring should be reviewed as distinct setup decisions.
