If you run apps on VPS, you know the workflow: SSH → run commands → check logs → open dashboards → deploy again.

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:

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