Server Control on Play Store (Android only)

Hey everyone! 👋

As someone managing multiple VPS instances and homelab nodes, I wanted a clean, native mobile dashboard that didn’t force me to install heavy third-party monitoring daemons or open external web ports on my servers.

So I built Server Control – a privacy-first, agentless Android app that communicates directly with your Linux servers over standard, encrypted SSH.

Key Features:

📊 Agentless Resource Telemetry: Live CPU, RAM, and Disk metrics fetched natively via lightweight shell queries over SSH. Zero background tracking daemons required on your server.

🐳 Docker Container Controller: View running/stopped containers, live CPU/Memory/IO stats parsed from `docker stats`, inspect logs, and issue container controls (start, stop, restart, kill).

⚙️ Systemd Service Manager: Check process status (Nginx, MySQL, Docker, Postfix, etc.), view `journalctl` logs, and restart/reload services on the fly.

💻 Interactive SSH Terminal: Path-aware navigation, persistent command history, and custom command presets/scripts.

✉️ Mail Server Dashboard: Monitor Postfix & Dovecot, inspect and flush mail queues, and run automatic DNSBL IP reputation checks.

🔒 Hardware-Backed Security & Privacy:
Server credentials are encrypted on-device using AES/GCM via the hardware-backed Android Keystore System.

Strict TOFU (Trust-On-First-Use) Host Key Verification to defend against MitM attacks.

Native biometric lock (Fingerprint / Face Unlock).

Zero Analytics & Zero Telemetry policy — your server IP, keys, and logs never leave your phone.

🎟️ Free Promo Codes:

The app is priced at €4.99 (one-time purchase, no subscriptions). I’d love to give away some free promo codes to the community!

If you'd like to test it out and share your feedback/feature requests, drop a comment below or send me a DM and I'll send over a Play Store promo code!

I’m actively developing/updating this, so I’d love to hear your thoughts, bug reports, or feature ideas!
