Litedeck Lightweight Agentless Server Panel

Manage Raspberry Pi and mini PCs over plain SSH without installing agents

Problem

Managing Raspberry Pi and N100 mini PCs with Cockpit or similar panels requires installing an agent on each device, consuming scarce resources; users just want a lightweight GUI for files, services, Docker containers, and resource monitoring. A HN post about Litedeck confirms the need.

Solution

Connect to target devices over plain SSH with no agent installation; web GUI for file browsing/download, service management, Docker container viewing, terminal, and resource monitoring; extremely low resource footprint for low-spec devices.

Users

Homelab enthusiasts, Raspberry Pi/mini PC users, small-scale ops

MVP

SSH connection configuration; file browsing and download; service status view and start/stop; Docker container list and logs; basic resource monitoring (CPU/memory/disk)

Revenue

Open-source core + paid Pro (multi-device unified panel, alerts, audit logs) or one-time license

Why now

Edge devices and mini PCs are everywhere but existing panels are heavy; indie developers can quickly build lightweight SSH clients and web UIs in Go/Rust
