Description
Hey all. I built ShellDash, an interactive server admin dashboard with shell scripting and an appealing globe UI.https://shelldash.comThe goal is to provide a global monitoring view of your servers, with shell script access, in a way that feels natural and productive, plus a minimal and appealing UI/UX.The technology is fairly interesting. This being a browser app, I built a Go WASM SSH client running in the browser, proxied through my server WebSocket endpoints. This means I can provide you a Web UI to access your servers via SSH, without ever needing to see your credentials. I only see secured packets like OpenSSH sends over the open internet. Inspired by https://ssheasy.com/Whether you have one server and periodically run a few common commands, or administering many scattered geographically, I hope ShellDash can make your experience more productive and fun.

Could you build this?
Partial Building the frontend dashboard with a 3D globe is easy, but implementing a secure, multi-tenant browser-based SSH terminal and agent/agentless infrastructure execution layer requires careful security and networking design.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a backend proxy using WebSocket-to-SSH bridging (e.g., paramiko or Go crypto/ssh), secure credential/key management, and an agent or remote runner to gather host metrics and execute scripts safely without exposing private server infrastructure to cross-tenant attacks.
