Islet Wants to Be the Whole VPS
An open-source control panel that turns a clean VPS into a hardened, Docker-ready server for deploying apps from GitHub.
Field notes
Islet presents server administration as a sequence rather than a collection of separate tools: install and harden a VPS, connect a GitHub repository, then manage the resulting application, data, schedules, and logs from one panel. Its installation example reports Docker 27.3 and isletd 0.1.0, while the security workflow includes firewall configuration, SSH hardening, fail2ban, Lynis, Trivy, and a numerical score. The page also marks the project as early-stage, with dashboard screenshots still represented by placeholders.
