Termix runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 106 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 23 Sep 2026.
Manage hosts, snippets, dashboard, metrics and audit of a self-hosted Termix (SSH/RDP/VNC manager)
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Termix every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
