a desktop app that shows what your Linux server is really doing, over plain SSH, with nothing installed on the server

See and manage your Linux server over SSH — visually. Nothing installed on the server, nothing leaves your machine.

Kubo

Manage your Linux server from a window, not just a terminal.

Kubo is a free desktop app for Windows and Linux. It connects to your own Linux server over SSH and shows you what is going on: files, open ports, firewall, websites, services, Docker, Redis, packages.

Nothing is installed on your server. Nothing is sent anywhere else.

⬇ Download for Windows  ·  ⬇ Download for Linux  ·  Website  ·  Java included  ·  ~75 MB

Kubo's file manager: the server's folders shown as a tree you can browse

Who it's for

You rented a VPS, set up a Raspberry Pi, or run a small server for a website, a bot or a game. You can use the terminal, but you don't want to remember twenty commands just to answer simple questions:

  • Which ports are open, and which ones can the internet actually reach?
  • Why isn't my website answering?
  • Who keeps trying to get into my server?
  • Which services will not come back…
