Outpost

Outpost is a monitoring dashboard and remote console designed for home lab and self-hosting enthusiasts—for your Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server, VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and SSH-managed servers (including Docker), all in one application. There's no account, no backend, and no central server through which anything passes: Outpost connects directly to the servers you configure yourself, from your device. KEY FEATURES

Proxmox VE
• Node status: CPU, RAM, swap, uptime, load average
• VM/LXC machines with live view: CPU/RAM history, IP address, uptime
• Start/Shutdown/Stop/Restart actions for individual machines
• Storage, physical disks (S.M.A.R.T. status), and recent task history
• Full-screen VNC console for VMs and text console for LXC containers

Proxmox Backup Server
• Node overview, datastore with space usage, physical disks, task history

VMware ESXi
• Host and VM status with live view (including Docker in the guest)
• Full-screen VM console (screen, mouse, keyboard) directly in the application

Hyper-V
• Virtual machine list and guest monitoring via SSH
• VM console (VMConnect) with mouse support Keyboard and Ctrl+Alt+Del – log in to the system without additional tools

SSH-managed servers (Linux and Windows Server)
• CPU per core, RAM (broken down by cache/swap), disk operations, network bandwidth
• List of Docker containers with live data
• Most demanding processes (CPU)
• Approximate server location (city/region/country)
• Windows Server: list of IIS sites and application pools with Start/Stop/Restart, and a view of SQL Server databases (MSSQL, read-only)
• SSH terminal and RDP console (Windows) directly in the application

Network tools
• Ping, traceroute, whois, port check, network scanner
• Fast SCP, SSH, RDP, SSL, FTP, SMB, and Wake-on-LAN – no need to permanently save the hostname

Security
• Self-signed TLS certificates and SSH host keys are trusted on first connection and pinned to a specific server—you don't need to install a real CA certificate, and you'll be warned about any server identity changes.
• Connection via API token or login/password (for Proxmox, this additionally unlocks the machine power-up actions described above).
• Optional biometric application lock (fingerprint/face recognition/device code)—disabled by default, never enforced.
• Encrypted export/import of all application data (endpoints, login credentials, keys) to a password-protected file—serves as a backup and a way to transfer to a new device.

Additionally:
• Dynamic DNS No-IP updater, so you can maintain access to your servers even if the public IP address of your mobile connection changes.
• A dark, distraction-free interface designed for quickly checking the status of your infrastructure.

Outpost is designed for people who run their own Proxmox nodes, backup servers, ESXi/Hyper-V hosts, or VPS/homelabs and want a fast, native way to check and remotely manage them. rather than a general IT dashboard with accounts, ads, or telemetry. Your login and server data remain encrypted on your device. The app's only network connections are to servers you configure, plus two small, persistent queries you can opt out of: a public IP lookup for Dynamic DNS and an approximate location lookup shown on the monitored server details page.
