Tools to Manage SSH Connections

The problem, in plain words: “I want an open-source, self-hosted way to manage all my SSH connections, tunnels, and remote server access from a single web interface.”

Termix fits best, with 6 more that fit too.

You’re looking for an open-source, self-hosted single web UI to manage SSH connections, tunnels, and remote server access.

What fits

1/2 self-hosted SSH web console

Termixstrong · 90

Termix is explicitly self-hosted and open-source (Apache-2.0), and it’s built around a single browser interface that combines SSH terminal access, SSH tunnel management with auto-reconnect, and an SSH host manager plus remote file and remote desktop access.

Best for: If you want a unified “single pane of glass” browser UI that covers SSH terminals, tunnels, and server access all together.

Same approach: Web Terminal 80 · Bastillion 78 · AIM-Connect 76 · Skiff 76 · WebSSH 75

2/2 self-hosted SSH tunnel manager (web GUI)

SSHMonstrong · 82

SSHMon provides a self-hosted program with a web GUI for defining, managing, and monitoring SSH connections, tunnels, and port forwards, including automatic start/retry and re-connection behavior for forwards.

Best for: If your core focus is keeping SSH tunnels/port forwards alive and visible from a web interface.

Partly fits

MeshCentralpartial · 58

It does offer a self-hosted web platform with remote desktop and terminal access, but it’s broader device management than an SSH-tunnel-first connection manager.

Won’t cover: It focuses on remote monitoring and managing endpoints, rather than being specifically optimized as a single SSH connection and tunnel management UI.

Octeliumpartial · 55

It’s a self-hosted, identity-based zero-trust access platform that can operate as clientless access, but it’s not primarily an SSH connections/tunnels manager UI.

Won’t cover: It’s built for zero-trust access control and gateway policies, not a dedicated web interface to manage SSH tunnels and port forwards.

Orion Visorpartial · 52

It’s a web-based bastion/ops platform with multi-protocol access and monitoring, which overlaps remote SSH access, but it’s more of an operations/bastion suite than an open-source SSH tunnel manager.

Won’t cover: It’s positioned as a lightweight bastion and ops platform rather than an explicitly open-source SSH connection and tunnel management dashboard.
