HOW IT WORKS
How it works
- 1
Run one command
The console generates a docker run command with a one-time token; run it on any Linux server.
- 2
Verify identity
The server fingerprint appears in the console and an admin approves it.
- 3
Set permissions
Enable Shell, Logs, Install and Updates individually.
- 4
Operate daily
Monitoring, upgrades, security scans and a web terminal from one console.
Capabilities
Cloud Servers & VMs
Secure web terminal
Shell access behind its own permission, audited and revocable.
Live resource monitoring
CPU, memory, disk and network with a 30-minute trend.
Controlled upgrades
Package upgrades only inside maintenance windows.
Vulnerability scanning
Isolated Trivy on the same host with severity reports.
Complete history
Every operation with time, duration, status and user.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to move servers to whycloud?
No. Servers stay where they are; only the lightweight agent runs on them.
Which operating systems are supported?
Linux distributions with Docker; Ubuntu and Debian have the deepest coverage.
Do we need to open inbound ports?
No. The connection is outbound-only over HTTPS.
How is terminal access controlled?
With a per-agent permission that admins can revoke at any moment.
How heavy is the agent?
The agent is a small Go binary that typically uses a few tens of megabytes of memory.
What if the internet connection drops?
The server keeps running; once connectivity returns the agent reconnects and status catches up.
Can I cut a server off immediately?
Yes. Each agent identity can be revoked on its own and open shell sessions are closed.
