Working on waking your PC from Console. It sleeps when the job's done. When you need it again, a Pi or NAS on the same network sends the wake-up packet, and it comes back online in Console. Nothing on your network has to be open. Off by default, on per machine.

Your machines take orders from you, not from Console. With signed commands on, every change is signed in a browser you trust, and the machine checks the signature before it acts. Even a breach of Console's database can't restart, stop or power off anything.

Got asked on Reddit what the hosted side of cntrl actually keeps. Fair question. The basics about each machine, your alert rules, and alerts for 90 days. Live stats, processes and logs only stream while you're looking. They're never stored, the history stays on your machine.

Built this for the 3 a.m. outage. nginx dies, your phone tells you why (it ran out of memory), and you restart it from bed. No laptop, no SSH.

You can now try Cntrl Console without signing up. Six made-up machines, live: a web server, a Postgres box low on memory, a NAS that's nearly full, a Pi-hole, a Mac mini and a GPU box that just went offline.

Cntrl Console: reach your machines without exposing them
Install the open-source cntrl agent and every machine you run shows up in Console, live. It dials out, so there's no port to forward and no VPN to run.
