PhP-based remote Linux server & virtual machine (VPS) management interface - thesis of Erik Stütz 🎉

• Connect remote Linux servers (reboot, shutdown, change root password, change hostname, view resource statistics)
• Manage local server
• Deploy and manage KVM virtual machines (start, stop, restart, create and restore backups, resize VM memory, delete)
• Account management (simple users, system administrators)

** This project is my thesis, so it is not my life's work. My basic goal with it is to create a reference and explain my thinking to my future partners. However, if someone wants to develop it further, I am open to it.

I used open source libraries during development.

• Backend: Secureimage, TorUtils, PHPMailer
• Frontend: MDB4, Jquery 3, Bootstrap 4, FontAwesome 5 Free, ApexCharts, DataTables 1.13, ParticlesJS, "font-logos", "flag-icons"

** I also indicated the frameworks, libraries and literature used for the project on the user interface of the application, thereby complying with the open source licenses.

Thank you for reading!

If you have any questions, suggestions or ideas, I look forward to hearing from you.
