Managing multiple self-hosted servers requires switching between fragmented UIs
Self-hosters and homelab operators managing multiple servers are forced to switch between disparate web UIs, SSH clients, and dashboards for different services, creating cognitive overhead and security inconsistency. The lack of a unified local-first interface means credentials are scattered across browser tabs and configuration files without centralized access control.
