What is it?

MeshCentral is a web-based computer management site that you run on your own server. After starting the server and creating a device group, you install an agent on each computer you want to manage, and the machine appears in the web interface shortly after.

Once connected, devices can be controlled through browser-based remote desktop, a terminal, and file management. It works for machines on a local network as well as those reachable over the internet. The project also covers server configuration, TLS and Let's Encrypt setup, reverse proxy deployment, multi-factor authentication, and SSO.

The project's topics include Intel AMT support and KVM-style out-of-band control, and a separate MeshAgent and MeshCentral Router are maintained in companion repositories.
