summit

summit is a portable and self-contained Linux server management web dashboard that fits in 3MB.

Important

A lot of features (storage, networking, containers, updates, etc.) are missing currently.

Features

• All of summit is distributed as one small file
• Portability across init systems and libcs (Tested with Debian and Alpine so far)
• Fast page loads
• PAM-based login system
• xterm.js-based terminal
• HTTP/2 & HTTPS

Screenshots

Building

All of these commands assume you're running as root. summit will likely build & run on other systems, but I have not tested.

The final compiled output is simply ./summit. By default, summit installs to /usr/local/bin.

Alpine

Note

Make sure you have the community repo enabled

apk add go make linux-pam-dev git openssl minify xz upx \
    && git clone https://github.com/winksplorer/summit \
    && cd summit \
    && make all install

Debian

apt install golang-go make libpam0g-dev git openssl minify upx-ucl \
    && git clone https://github.com/winksplorer/summit \
    && cd summit \
    && make all install
