About

A desktop application that enables push-to-deploy workflows on self-hosted VPS servers without installing any management software on the host machine. It connects to servers via SSH, allowing users to deploy Docker containers, manage domains with automatic SSL, and handle GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines directly from a local interface. The tool supports zero-downtime blue-green deployments, one-click rollbacks, and includes a built-in terminal and file browser. It also features a template library for deploying common stacks like databases and AI models (e.g., Ollama) and offers AES-256 encrypted credential storage locally. The software is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux as a one-time purchase.

Key Features

What Makes It Different

Unlike other self-hosted panels that consume significant server resources, Server Compass installs nothing on the VPS, keeping the server's RAM available for applications. It offers a Vercel-like user experience for raw VPS infrastructure.
