Nexterm is a self-hosted server management platform that brings remote access and infrastructure administration into a single web interface.
It is designed to replace a collection of separate tools with one central workspace for working with machines, files, scripts and virtualised or containerised workloads. Resources can be arranged into folders and tabs, while organisation support helps teams keep users and infrastructure logically separated. Nexterm also includes a remote browser which runs from the server-side network: pages and internal hostnames are reached through an SSH server, making it possible to open interfaces for routers, firewalls, NAS devices and other systems that are not directly reachable from the administrator’s local network.
This is free and open source software.
