   ServerBuddy – GUI SSH client for managing Linux servers from macOS▲42

   Hi HN, I've built an app for macOS that allows performing common SSH operations on Linux servers using a native GUI. The problem: Managing multiple Linux servers usually means juggling terminal windows and copy-pasting snippets/scripts. After dealing with tens of production/staging VPSes at previous jobs, I realized there had to be a better way for common operations I did on a daily basis than my collection of bash snippets. Features: - Quickly switch between different servers. Tag servers with arbitrary key values for easy search. - Real-time dashboard with CPU/memory graphs,…

   UI for SSHFS▲6

   This tray-based program can be used to manage SSHFS mounts for remote servers. It was built out of a need to browse my self-hosted servers (and connected HDDs); managing the state for multiple SSHFS connections as well as avoiding system-hanging bugs on MacOS was becoming tedious. This is early software still, please use at your own risk and share any feedback. Github: https://github.com/thekashifmalik/sshfsui

    Sshsync – CLI tool to run shell commands across multiple remote servers▲47

    I built a CLI tool called `sshsync` to run shell commands and transfer files across multiple servers over SSH concurrently. It was inspired by tools like `pssh`, but I wanted something more modern, intuitive, and Pythonic. What it does: - Run shell commands on multiple servers (in parallel) - Push/pull files or directories with progress bars - Uses `~/.ssh/config` and lets you group hosts with YAML - Supports `--dry-run` mode to preview actions without executing - Outputs results using `rich` (tables, colors) - Built with `Typer`, `asyncssh`, and `rich` There’s no daemon or…
