Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A self-hosted Windows Server and IIS panel for creating sites, configuring app pools, handling certificates and DNS, managing backups, and avoiding routine RDP sessions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

The project is described as two Windows services: a low-privilege web Panel on port 8443 and a LocalSystem Agent that performs privileged IIS, DNS, certificate, and firewall operations. The page shows an installation path using install.ps1 and lists checks for Windows Server 2022, IIS 10, ASP.NET Core 10, generated secrets, service startup, and inbound firewall rules. It also describes a named-operation interface over a local pipe rather than a general command endpoint. The author notes that the project is not finished.
