LeePanel is a 9MB+ desktop app that manages Linux vps servers purely over SSH. No code installed on your server, no extra ports opened — the panel can't be hacked because it doesn't exist there. One native client for SSH Terminal, SFTP, Nginx, MySQL, PHP, Redis, Docker, SSL, Firewall & BBR. Close the app, zero residue. Built with Tauri 2 + Rust + React. Open source, MIT licensed. Windows / macOS / Linux.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the solo dev behind LeePanel. Here's the story: Last year I ran a VPS with a popular web-based panel. One morning I woke up to 47 failed login attempts on port 8888 — the panel's own port. The panel had a CVE. My server was one exploit away from being someone's crypto miner. That's when I realized: the "management tool" was the biggest security risk on my server. So I asked a simple question — what if the panel never touches the server at all? LeePanel is the answer. It's a 9MB+ desktop app that does everything a traditional panel does — Nginx, MySQL, PHP, Redis, Docker, SSL, Firewall, file management, terminal — but communicates exclusively over SSH. No agent. No daemon. No extra ports. Your server has zero idea the panel exists. Why I think this matters: → No panel code on server = no panel CVE to exploit → No extra port = no brute-force target → Close the app = zero residue, zero resource usage → 9MB installer, not 200MB It's built with Tauri 2 (Rust + React), fully open source under MIT, and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This is a solo project, so every piece of feedback genuinely shapes the roadmap. I'd love to hear: • What features would make you switch from your current setup? • Any distros beyond Ubuntu/Debian you need first? Happy to answer anything. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

been using it for a few days on my vps and honestly the no-install approach is kind of genius, just runs locally and talks over ssh. the all-in-one tab layout saves me from juggling three different tools at once.

@parsons_ou Thank you for sharing！
