Overview

usulnet is a self‑hosted platform for managing Docker infrastructure. It ships as a single Go binary that handles containers, images, volumes, networks, stacks, security scanning, backups, monitoring, reverse proxy, SSH/RDP/database connections, and multi‑node deployments—all from one web UI.

• Trivy security scanning with CVE detection and scoring
• Multi‑node master/agent architecture with NATS + mTLS
• Built‑in terminal (xterm.js), code editor (Monaco), Neovim in the browser
• 11 notification channels (Slack, Discord, Telegram, PagerDuty, etc.)
• RBAC with 44+ permissions, 2FA, LDAP/OIDC
• Backup & restore to S3/local with cron scheduling
• Reverse proxy management (Caddy + Nginx Proxy Manager)
• Full REST API with OpenAPI 3.0 documentation
