Server Lab replaces repetitive terminal work with a clean, modern GUI. Manage local KVM virtual machines, connect to external servers over SSH, run your installation scripts, and control everything with Ansible — all from one dark-themed desktop application. Every action shows the exact command being executed and streams the real output live, so you always see what’s happening under the hood.

Local KVM / libvirt Machine Management

  • Live list of all virtual machines with status, IP address, MAC address, and clear badges for static vs dynamic IP
  • Create new VMs through a simple form (distro, package manager, label)
  • Start, Shutdown, Reboot, and Destroy machines (with confirmation for destructive actions)
  • Delete VMs completely, including DHCP reservation cleanup
  • View IP and MAC details instantly
  • Automatic detection of static vs dynamic IP assignments
  • One-click SSH or console access

External Server Management (SSH)

  • Connection manager for remote servers (name, host, port, user, SSH key path)
  • Secure key-based authentication only — no passwords stored in plaintext
  • One-click connection test
  • Quick actions per server: uptime, disk usage (df -h), memory (free -h), service status, reboot (with confirmation), and custom saved commands
  • Easy SSH key deployment (ssh-copy-id)

One-Click Installers

  • Run your custom installation scripts (WordPress, LAMP + WordPress, Hestia, and more) on any local VM or remote server
  • Live streaming of installation output
  • Clear display of generated credentials and important data after completion

Ansible Fleet Management

  • Visual inventory viewer and editor (hosts, groups, variables)
  • Instant validation with ansible-inventory --list
  • Ping individual hosts, groups, or the entire inventory
  • Ad-hoc commands with module, arguments, and become support
  • Run playbooks with limit and check-mode options
  • Easy editing of inventory.ini and ansible.cfg

Designed for Clarity & Safety

  • Every button shows the exact command that will be executed
  • Live command output with color-coded results (green = success, red = error) and visible return code
  • Confirmation dialogs for all destructive operations, clearly naming the target
  • No raw unrestricted terminal access — everything is controlled and auditable
  • Interactive sessions (console / live SSH) handled safely when needed
  • Clean dark “Kernel Labs” theme with intuitive sidebar navigation
Server Lab brings the power of the command line into a fast, mouse-driven desktop application. Perfect for anyone who manages KVM labs and remote servers and wants full visibility and control without constantly switching to the terminal.
