# Clusev

**Self-hosted control panel for a fleet of Linux servers — one dashboard, agentless over SSH.**

Clusev is the control plane: a modern, security-first web UI that administers your servers by talking
to them directly over SSH (exec + SFTP via phpseclib). It installs nothing on the target machines and
never reimplements their daemons. Multi-server management is free and never paywalled.

## Features

- **Dashboard & live metrics** — CPU, memory, load and disk per server, streamed in real time.
- **systemd services** — list, start/stop/restart, live journal tail.
- **SFTP file manager** — browse, edit text files, preview images.
- **Server details & hardening** — resource gauges, volumes, interfaces, SSH keys; UFW/firewalld
  rules and fail2ban status with one-click controls; and a one-click "generate an SSH key and disable
  password login, safely" flow.
- **Security** — optional, pluggable 2FA (TOTP and/or hardware security keys, or off), one-time
  backup codes, an encrypted SSH-credential vault, and a complete, tamper-evident audit log.
- **Multiple administrators** — add further admin accounts; every action is attributed in the audit
  log; view and revoke active sessions (per device, per user, or globally).
- **Domain, TLS & e-mail** — run on a bare IP over HTTP, set a domain for automatic HTTPS, or put your
  own reverse proxy in front. Configure SMTP in-panel for password-reset e-mails.

The panel is built on Laravel 13, Livewire 3, Tailwind v4, Laravel Reverb (realtime), Redis, MariaDB
and phpseclib — all running in Docker. The interface is in German (English available).

## Requirements

- A **Debian or Ubuntu** server (a small VM is enough) with **root** access.
- A public IP. Optionally a domain whose DNS points at the server (for automatic HTTPS).
- Nothing else — the installer sets up Docker for you.

## Install

```bash
git clone https://git.bave.dev/boban/clusev.git
cd clusev
sudo ./install.sh
```

The installer is idempotent (safe to re-run) and, in one pass:

1. Installs **Docker** (Debian/Ubuntu, from Docker's official repository) if it isn't already present.
2. Creates a dedicated **`clusev`** system user — in the `docker` group, owning and running the stack —
   with a random password.
3. Asks for a **domain** (leave empty for IP access) and an **admin e-mail**, or reads `CLUSEV_DOMAIN`
   / `CLUSEV_ADMIN_EMAIL` from the environment for an unattended install. If you give a domain it
   checks whether DNS already points here: if so a certificate is obtained automatically; if not, it
   warns you and lets you take the domain anyway (HTTP until DNS is correct) or continue on the IP.
4. Generates all secrets (once — never regenerated on re-run), builds the image, starts the stack,
   runs the migrations, and creates the first administrator with a one-time random password.
5. Installs a themed host login banner (MOTD) showing the dashboard address.

When it finishes, the terminal prints a single summary: the **dashboard URL**, the **admin login**
(e-mail + one-time password), and the **`clusev` host user** + its password. These passwords are shown
**only once** — note them down.

On first login the panel forces you to set your own password. 2FA is **optional but recommended** —
enable TOTP and/or a security key from **Settings → Security** whenever you like.

## Access, domain & TLS

- **Bare IP (no domain):** served over plain HTTP at `http://<server-ip>`. This address always stays
  reachable as a recovery path, even after a domain is configured.
- **With a domain:** set it during install or later under **System → Domain & TLS**. The panel obtains
  and renews a Let's Encrypt certificate automatically and serves HTTPS — just point DNS at the server.
  (Let's Encrypt needs publicly reachable ports 80/443.)
- **Behind your own reverse proxy** (one that already terminates TLS): switch *TLS-Terminierung* to
  **Externer Reverse-Proxy** in System → Domain & TLS. The panel then serves HTTP only and trusts the
  proxy's forwarded scheme — set `TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR` to the proxy's address and firewall the HTTP
  port so only the proxy can reach it.

Domain/TLS changes apply on a stack restart — use the **"Jetzt neu starten"** button in System (no
terminal needed; a small, scoped host service performs the restart).

## Updating

```bash
cd clusev
git pull
sudo ./install.sh        # idempotent: rebuilds, restarts and migrates — secrets are preserved
```

## Account recovery

The **forgot-password** screen offers self-service recovery: an **e-mail reset link** (valid 15
minutes) when SMTP is configured, or an inline **2FA-proof reset** (e-mail + TOTP or a backup code +
new password) as a fallback.

Completely locked out (lost password and 2FA, no SMTP)? Recover from the host:

```bash
cd clusev
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml exec app php artisan clusev:reset-admin
```

This clears the second factor so you can set a new password on the next login. The bare-IP
`http://<server-ip>` address is also always available if a domain becomes unreachable. (This command
is documented in-panel under Settings → Security and is deliberately not shown on the public
forgot-password screen.)
