Backend: Replace direct sudo/subprocess.run calls with run_privileged and privileged_cmd, add _needs_sudo/privileged_cmd logic and is_command_available checks, and return clearer errors for missing binaries (journalctl/grep/tail/truncate/logrotate/systemctl/service). Add FileNotFoundError handling and use privileged_cmd for Popen. Frontend: UI and style refinements across Downloads, Security and Terminal pages — simplified Linux icon, added release date and banner actions, redesigned scanner UI into interactive scan cards with custom path and toolbar, handle unavailable journalctl with an empty state, update SVG icons. Styles (.less): switch mono font to JetBrains Mono, adjust spacing/gaps, sidebar text truncation, revamp downloads and security card styles, and improve terminal log fonts, wrapping and processes table layout.
ServerKit
Self-hosted infrastructure, made simple.
A lightweight, modern server control panel for managing web apps, databases, Docker containers, and security — without the complexity of Kubernetes or the cost of managed platforms.
