Operate your fleet through Claude, OpenClaw, Cursor, or any AI agent. Cross-Platform Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD — all first-class citizens, managed from one hub. Secure by Default Tailscale integration, 2FA, OIDC/SSO, RBAC, audit logs, and TLS — out of the box. --- ## Why LabTether You run Proxmox, TrueNAS, Docker, maybe Home Assistant. Each has its own dashboard, its own alerts, its own way of telling you something is wrong. When a drive starts failing at 2 AM, you're opening five tabs trying to piece together what happened. LabTether replaces the tab sprawl with one dashboard, one timeline, one URL. - **One dashboard** for metrics, logs, alerts, incidents, and actions -- no tab sprawl. - **Multi-platform** -- manage Linux, Windows, macOS, and FreeBSD from one place. - **Self-hosted** -- Docker Compose + Postgres. Your data never leaves your network. - **Integrations** -- Proxmox, TrueNAS, Docker, Portainer, Home Assistant, and more. --- ## Quick Start Get a full LabTether hub running in under 5 minutes. You need Docker. **One command:** ```bash docker run -d --name labtether \ -p 3000:3000 -p 8443:8443 \ -v labtether-data:/data \ ghcr.io/labtether/labtether:latest ``` Open **http://localhost:3000** — the setup wizard walks you through the rest. TLS certificates are generated automatically. > Full guide with Tailscale remote access, custom TLS, OIDC SSO, and multi-user setup at [labtether.com/docs](https://labtether.com/docs). ### Advanced: Docker Compose For split services, external Postgres, or resource limits: ```bash curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/labtether/labtether/main/deploy/compose/docker-compose.deploy.yml \ -o docker-compose.yml docker compose up -d ``` --- ## Install Agents Agents are optional -- connectors like Proxmox and TrueNAS work without them. Agents unlock deeper telemetry, remote terminal and desktop access, and action execution on your nodes. ### Linux Download the agent binary from [Releases](https://github.com/labtether/labtether-agent/releases/latest) (amd64 or arm64), then enroll: ```bash curl -fsSL https://github.com/labtether/labtether-agent/releases/latest/download/labtether-agent-linux-amd64 \ -o /usr/local/bin/labtether-agent chmod +x /usr/local/bin/labtether-agent labtether-agent --hub wss://your-hub:8443/ws/agent --enrollment-token YOUR_TOKEN ``` Or use the hub's generated install command -- it handles the download automatically. See the [Linux agent setup guide](https://labtether.com/docs/install-upgrade/agent-install-commands-by-os) for systemd installation and enrollment. ### macOS Download **LabTether Agent.app** from [Releases](https://github.com/labtether/labtether-mac/releases/latest). Drag to Applications and launch -- the menu bar icon handles enrollment. ### Windows Download **LabTether Agent** from [Releases](https://github.com/labtether/labtether-win/releases/latest) and run the installer. The system tray icon handles enrollment. ### FreeBSD FreeBSD nodes are managed agentlessly via connectors. No agent install required. > Agent docs: [labtether.com/docs/install-upgrade/agent-install-commands-by-os](https://labtether.com/docs/install-upgrade/agent-install-commands-by-os) --- ## What You Get ### AI-Powered Operations LabTether ships a built-in **MCP server** with 23+ tools. Connect Claude, OpenClaw, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI agent and operate your infrastructure through natural language: - Run commands across your fleet, restart services, read logs - Query container stats, manage Docker stacks, check connector health - Browse files, acknowledge alerts, reboot or wake machines - Explore topology, list schedules, trigger webhooks > *"Restart the nginx container on prod-web-01"* -- your AI agent does it through LabTether's MCP endpoint. ### Secure Remote Access with Tailscale One-click **Tailscale Serve** integration. Expose your hub over HTTPS to your tailnet -- no port forwarding, no dynamic DNS, no certificates to manage. Managed mode handles everything automatically. ### Fleet Dashboard Health at a glance. CPU, memory, disk, network, and temperature across every node. ### Remote Terminal and SSH Browser-based shell sessions with snippets, bookmarks, and persistent sessions. Manage SSH connections, keys, and protocols per device. Quick-connect from the command palette -- no SSH keys needed. ### Remote Desktop VNC and SPICE desktop access directly from the browser. Session recordings for audit and compliance. ### File Manager Browse, upload, download, and transfer files between devices from one interface. ### Alerts, Incidents, and Logs Define alert rules, route notifications, silence during maintenance, and triage from one correlated timeline. Full incident tracking with postmortem analysis. Centralized log viewer with search, filtering, and journal access across all nodes. ### Containers and Services Monitor and manage Docker containers and Compose stacks across your fleet. Discover, group, and monitor web services with health checks and custom icons. ### Topology Map Visualize your infrastructure, dependencies, and network relationships. Blast radius analysis for change planning. ### Automation Save and execute actions across devices. Webhooks and scheduled jobs for hands-free operations. Cron-like scheduling with group-aware execution. ### Integrations Connect what you already run: Proxmox VE, TrueNAS, Docker, Portainer, Home Assistant, and Proxmox Backup Server. Auto-discovery finds your infrastructure automatically. ### Enterprise Security 2FA, OIDC/SSO, RBAC, API keys, TLS management, Prometheus metrics export, data retention policies, and a full audit log. Everything you need for compliance. ### And More **Groups and Maintenance** -- Organize assets with maintenance windows and reliability tracking. **Update Runs** -- Plan and execute updates with dry-run support and audit trails. **Command Palette** -- Cmd+K to jump anywhere, quick-connect to devices, or run saved actions. **API Docs** -- Built-in OpenAPI reference for every endpoint.
