MeshCentral
MeshCentral is a lightweight, web-based remote monitoring and management platform that gives you a single interface to control and monitor computers anywhere. Built around a small agent that runs on each managed machine, it provides remote desktop, terminal, file transfer, and power control, all accessible from a self-hosted web portal.
Key Features
- Remote desktop — Full graphical control of a managed computer from the web interface.
- Remote terminal — Interactive command-line access to managed machines.
- File transfer — Push and pull files between your browser and managed agents.
- Multi-user and roles — Assign granular permissions to users, groups, and devices.
- Self-hosted server — Run your own management server so device data never leaves your network.
- Agent-based — Small native agents for Windows, Linux, macOS, plus Android/iOS clients.
- Power control — Restart, wake, or shut down remote machines from the portal.
- Overview graphs — Track CPU and memory across managed devices from one dashboard.
Why Use MeshCentral?
MeshCentral gives small IT teams and self-hosters the capabilities of a commercial RMM platform without the licensing costs. It is fully open source and self-hosted, so you keep management data internal, while the browser-based interface means you can administer your fleet from almost any device.
Use Cases
- Managed service providers supporting many client machines from one portal.
- Families or small teams remotely helping with computers across households.
- Self-hosters who want remote administration of a small home-lab without exposing endpoints publicly.
