SSHPanel turns your iPhone into a dedicated server control panel, allowing you to manage servers without opening a terminal. Structure your SSH operations into three core axes: Execute, Reference, and Tools, and trigger tasks instantly with a single tap. ◆ EXECUTE & REFERENCE PANELS ・Execute Commands: Turn commands (systemctl, custom scripts) into one-tap panels. ・Exit Status: Visual indicators (green/red) instantly display success or failure. ・Data Reference: Display command outputs (e.g., cat) as panels with built-in keyword search (grep) for quick information extraction. ◆ INTERACTIVE "TOOLS" Real-time, in-depth server analysis tools: ・Directory Analyzer: Drill-down to identify disk space bottlenecks. ・Process Analyzer: List processes by CPU/MEM usage to find heavy loads. ・Memory Analyzer: Visualize true memory usage using PSS, and drill down into swap usage and OOM risks. ・Listening Ports: View active ports and associated connections/processes. ・Config Browser: Cleanly display configuration files by excluding comments and blank lines. ・Log Browser: Efficiently tail and grep server logs via a native UI. ◆ PANEL OPTIMIZATION ・Auto-close: Closes logs upon successful execution to minimize visual noise. ・Always Expanded: Fixes results on-screen, turning your device into a monitoring display. ・Expand on Tap: Keeps layouts slim, expanding only when detailed logs are needed. ◆ ADVANCED FEATURES ・SSH Multi-Hop (Jump Host): Automatically handles bastion host connection sequences. ・Robust Security: Passwords and keys (RSA, Ed25519) are stored securely in the iOS Keychain. Credentials are fetched only at execution time with no in-app caching. ・iOS Integration: Trigger tasks directly from Widgets or Control Center. Automatic iCloud sync keeps panels updated across all your devices. ・67 Templates: Built-in presets for system monitoring, web, and database management. ※ IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER SSHPanel is a "command execution (non-TTY)" tool optimized for iOS. ・No interactive sessions (e.g., vim or commands requiring real-time input). ・Designed specifically for executing pre-registered commands with a single tap.
