Nimbus

Nimbus is a self-hosted control panel built for sysadmins who need to manage a handful of servers without the overhead of heavier panels like cPanel or Plesk. It connects over SSH to your existing machines and gives you a web dashboard to monitor system health, restart services, view logs, and execute common admin tasks. The project started on GitHub and is maintained by the developer Turbootzz.

Nimbus integrates with systemd for service management, supports real-time resource monitoring for CPU, memory, and disk, and includes a built-in terminal for direct command access. It also offers a simple user permission system so you can grant limited access to junior staff. The panel runs on any modern Linux distribution and requires only Python 3 and a web server to get started.

This tool targets small teams and solo operators who prefer open-source software and want control over their hosting stack. It is free to use under the MIT license, with no paid tiers or feature restrictions. The project is still young, but it already provides a clean, no-nonsense alternative to commercial control panels.
