Do you actually know who has access to your servers right now? CtrlOps gives you a security hardening score across 25 checks, a PDF audit report, and fix commands for every issue found. See who can log into every server, revoke access from your whole fleet in one click, and assign any level of roles/access without touching the terminal. Every log file, found and searchable without SSH. Deploy any app from GitHub in minutes. 100% local. Your credentials never leave your machine.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
We launched CtrlOps 4 months ago, ranked #5, and never stopped shipping. Our mission is one line: Simplify DevOps.
After hundreds of conversations with developers and IT teams, here is what we built since May.
1. Security Audit Reports run 25 checks over SSH and give you a hardening score, a downloadable PDF report, and a fix command for every finding.
2. Global Access Management shows who can log into every server and lets you onboard or offboard someone across your whole fleet in a single action.
3. Custom User Roles let you create Read-Only or Read-Write system users directly from the UI without opening a terminal.
4. Log Management finds every log file on your server, groups them, and lets you search, tail live, or download without a single SSH command.
5. PM2 Process Manager shows live CPU and memory per process and lets you restart, reload, or stop any of them in one click.
6. Vault Lock sets a passphrase that seals the entire app so your servers and keys stay protected on a shared or stolen machine. 🔒
7. Migrate from Termius imports all your saved hosts and SSH keys in about 30 seconds.
8. Centralized Backup and Restore lets you export your full CtrlOps setup and restore it on any machine in one go.
Plus 14 more enhancements across the File Manager, Deployments, AI Terminal, and Infra Details.
If you manage Linux servers, try CtrlOps free for one month at ctrlops.io. No credit card, no catch. 🚀
What would make CtrlOps a must-have for your team?
The spreadsheet of IPs is a very specific kind of pain haha. One-click deploys plus an AI terminal that still asks before running commands sounds like the right amount of help. Congrats on getting this out there! @daxesh_italiya@hiren_kalariya
This is the kind of tool developers actually need, not another flashy dashboard with zero real function behind it.
"100% local, credentials never leave your machine" is the right answer to the trust problem every SSH-key-manager tool has to solve eventually. the part I'd want to know before installing this on prod: when the audit finds something and gives you a fix command, does it just print the command for you to run yourself, or can it execute the fix directly? that's a very different risk profile for a security tool
Congrats on the launch!
My question: For a 3–5 person engineering team managing 10–20 servers, how much time or DevOps cost can CtrlOps realistically save each month compared to handling everything manually over SSH?
Clean UI, great work. Also love that it's not just another SSH client, feels like it actually solves the whole workflow.
I check the product, Looks pretty good...Have you ads security audit more or is this just a fixed list...😊
Super excited for you guys, let's go! The security audit feature alone would save so many teams from a nasty surprise later.
Congrats on the launch, well deserved! The local first approach is something more tools should honestly be doing 🎉
Hey! This is such a smart idea honestly. Every dev I know has faced this exact pain of juggling multiple servers with zero visibility.
Really rooting for you guys... excited to see where this goes! 🚀
Wow, didn't know managing servers could look this easy. The whole dashboard just makes sense at a glance, no digging around needed.

Hey 👋
We know you’re happy with CtrlOps as an SSH client.
But we kept asking ourselves:
What if CtrlOps could do more than just connect to your servers?
So this time, we're going beyond SSH clients.
Your server shouldn’t require you to remember a command for everything.
Need to check security?
→ Run a full security audit.
Need to remove someone's access?
→ Do it across your servers in one action.
Need to find a log?
→ Search and tail it without SSH.
Need to restart a PM2 process?
→ One click.
Need to create a server user?
→ Do it from the UI.
Need to move from Termius?
→ Import your hosts and SSH keys in ~30 seconds.
Need to protect your CtrlOps setup?
→ Lock it with Vault Lock.
Need to move your CtrlOps setup to another machine?
→ Backup and restore everything.
And we’ve added 14+ more improvements across Deployments, File Manager, AI Terminal, and Infra Details.
This is our second Product Hunt launch.
The first launch helped us prove the idea.
The conversations after that launch helped us understand what DevOps teams actually need.
So we went back to work.
More listening.
More shipping.
Less repetitive terminal work.
Our mission hasn't changed:
Simplify DevOps.
But CtrlOps has grown far beyond being just an SSH client.
If you manage Linux servers, we'd love to have you try the new CtrlOps.
And tell us:
What should we take beyond SSH next?
