MeshCentral

MeshCentral is a computer management web site that you run on your own server. Administrators use it to remotely manage and control computers on a local network or anywhere on the internet. It is a community driven open source project built on NodeJS and distributed through NPM, and the code is licensed under Apache 2.0.

Setup follows a short flow: start the server, create a device group, then download and install an agent on each computer you want to manage. After a short time the machine shows up on the web site and can be controlled. MeshCentral includes web-based remote desktop, terminal and file management.

The server and management agent run on Windows, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. The project also publishes guidance for an Android agent, two-factor authentication, an NGINX reverse proxy setup, and MeshCentral Router for mapping TCP connections. The searchable documentation covers the server configuration file, databases, TLS offloading, Let's Encrypt, IP filtering, email setup, reverse proxy setup, branding, HashiCorp Vault support and SSO.

It suits IT teams that want a self-hosted remote access and device management console instead of a hosted service.
