Deploy Squirrel Servers Manager on your own server.
Squirrel Servers Manager (SSM) is a user-friendly, UI/UX-focused server and configuration management tool. It lets you connect to remote servers over SSH, manage Docker containers and Compose stacks, execute Ansible playbooks, and monitor server health — all from a single web interface. SSM includes a built-in Prometheus instance for…

Why Squirrel Servers Manager
Everything you need, running where you choose.
Get the full Squirrel Servers Manager experience with Easypanel handling the repetitive infrastructure work around it.
SSH-Based Device Connectivity
Add servers using SSH key or password authentication. SSM establishes secure tunnels for all management operations and keeps credentials encrypted at rest using a vault password.
Real-Time Metrics with Prometheus
A bundled Prometheus instance collects server and container metrics. The dashboard surfaces CPU, memory, and disk usage so you can spot issues before they become incidents.
Multi-User with Role-Based Access
Create multiple user accounts with different permission levels. Teams can share a single SSM instance without granting everyone full administrative access.
Ansible Integration
SSM ships with Ansible support out of the box. Connect remote playbook repositories over Git, browse available roles and tasks, and execute them on demand or on a schedule.
Unified Server Management
Manage all your remote servers from one place. SSM connects over SSH and gives you a full-featured dashboard to monitor health, run commands, and deploy workloads without juggling multiple tools.
Ansible Playbook Execution
Run Ansible playbooks directly from the UI. Import playbooks from remote Git repositories or write them inline, then execute them against any connected server with real-time output streaming.
How it works
From template to live app in three steps.
Easypanel turns the template into real services, storage, and domains on the server you already control.
