Overview
Learn what ssh-manager is, who it's built for, and its core capabilities for infrastructure teams.
SSH Manager is a self-hosted operations console for infrastructure teams — the operator's reference for every module in the system, what each one does, exactly what it can touch, and where the admin-only and destructive controls live.
35+ feature modules across access, infrastructure, security, tooling, transfer, and administration:
Inventory & Monitoring
Server and network device inventory with health monitoring.
Remote Access
In-browser SSH terminal, RDP, File Manager, and Remote Exec — no client software needed.
Credential Vault
Encrypted credential vault with rotation history.
Power Scheduling
Power Sequence and BMC power scheduling for safe maintenance windows.
SSH Key Management
SSH key generation, assignment, and rotation.
AD Automation
Active Directory lifecycle automation synced with your HR system.
Database Connector
Multi-backend database connector (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) with AI-assisted queries.
Network & Racks
Network scanning, rack/inventory tracking, and diagramming.
Role-Based Access
Role-based access control with TOTP step-up on destructive actions.

Who It's For
Operations teams managing small-to-mid-sized infrastructure who need:
- One console to reach any server, device, or remote desktop
- Credential and secrets management without juggling separate tools
- Safe, confirmable automation for disruptive operations (power sequencing, AD changes)
- Integration between HR systems and Active Directory / Google Workspace / Microsoft 365
- Physical asset and rack tracking alongside the logical inventory
