For the common case where a domain was configured before its DNS pointed here, the operator can now request the Let's Encrypt cert from System -> Domain & TLS instead of waiting for the first HTTPS visitor: - DeploymentService::requestCertificate() does a DNS pre-check (domainResolvesHere via dns_get_record vs serverPublicIp) and, only when DNS is NOT a clear mismatch, triggers Caddy's on-demand issuance with an internal handshake (probeCertificate: `curl --connect-to <domain>:443:caddy:443` — the dial target is pinned to the caddy service, the domain only sets SNI/Host, so no SSRF). A clear mismatch returns early and never calls ACME (Let's Encrypt rate-limit protection). The outcome is persisted to the `tls_cert_status` Setting so the page shows a status without an ACME-triggering probe on every load. - System\Index::requestCertificate() is per-user throttled (cert-request:<id>, 5/10min, auto-expiring -> never a control-plane lockout) and audited (tls.cert_request). The status line + button render only in caddy mode with an active domain; external mode shows a note; bare IP hides it. Automatic on-demand still works on the first HTTPS handshake regardless — this only adds explicit control + a status. Tests cover the no-handshake-on-mismatch guard, the issued/failed/not-applicable states, and the per-user throttle. Full suite 192 green; Codex clean.

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
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:
- Installs Docker (Debian/Ubuntu, from Docker's official repository) if it isn't already present.
- Creates a dedicated
clusevsystem user — in thedockergroup, owning and running the stack — with a random password. - Asks for a domain (leave empty for IP access) and an admin e-mail, or reads
CLUSEV_DOMAIN/CLUSEV_ADMIN_EMAILfrom 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. - 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.
- 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_CIDRto 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
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:
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.)
