ServerKit

Introduction

ServerKit is a self-hosted panel for connecting remote servers and managing fleet operations, terminals, deployments, monitoring, backups, security, and sites.

This package uses the upstream all-in-one Docker image jhd3197/serverkit, which serves the API, React SPA, and Socket.IO service from one container.

Features

• Connect to and manage remote servers and server fleets.
• Provide terminal, deployment, monitoring, backup, and security capabilities.
• Serve a unified browser panel with real-time Socket.IO communication.

Container scope

This is ServerKit's containerized deployment. The package does not mount the Docker Socket or the host filesystem and does not use privileged mode. As a result, it cannot manage the current 1Panel host's systemd services, host Nginx, host packages, or local sites. It is intended for evaluation, managing other connected remote servers, or running behind a reverse proxy.

First use

1. During installation, provide unique values for SECRET_KEY, JWT_SECRET_KEY, and the Fernet-format SERVERKIT_ENCRYPTION_KEY.

2. Generate a Fernet key with:

   python3 -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
   

   Generate the first two keys with openssl rand -hex 32. Keep all keys safe; changing them invalidates existing sessions or encrypted data.

3. Open ServerKit on the configured HTTP port. On the first visit, use the registration page to create the first user; the first user is given the administrator role.

4. When using a reverse proxy, set SERVERKIT_PUBLIC_URL. Set TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS to true only when every request is guaranteed to pass through a trusted proxy. Add multiple browser origins as a comma-separated CORS_ORIGINS value.

The SQLite database is persisted at /app/instance/serverkit.db in the serverkit-data volume. Do not remove that volume unless the ServerKit data can be discarded.

Versions

Both latest and the pinned 1.11.4 release are available. They use the upstream Docker Hub image and support amd64 and arm64.
