If you run apps on VPS, you know the workflow: SSH → run commands → check logs → open dashboards → deploy again. It works, but the experience is fragmented across terminals, scripts, and monitoring tools. I built Cockpit.run to simplify this. It provides a visual operating surface to monitor servers, manage VPS instances, and deploy apps from one interface.

Hi everyone 👋 I built Cockpit.run after spending a lot of time managing VPS servers for projects. The typical workflow, SSH sessions, deployment scripts, monitoring dashboards, and log tools - works, but it’s scattered across multiple interfaces. Over time it started to feel like infrastructure lacked a single control surface. So I started building Cockpit.run with a simple idea: treat VPS infrastructure like an operating surface, where you can observe and control servers visually. With Cockpit.run you can: • monitor server resources • manage multiple VPS instances • deploy applications • control infrastructure from one interface The goal isn’t to replace SSH but to provide a clear operational layer on top of it. This is still early, and I’m sharing it here to learn from the community. I’d love to know: How do you currently manage your VPS servers? What tools or workflows do you rely on today? What features would make infrastructure management easier? You can see the showcase here: https://www.ripun.site/showcase/... Thanks for checking it out 🙏

Nice idea! Curious what types of developers (indie devs, small teams, etc.) you’re seeing adopt it most?
