Introduction

A message from the developer.

ServersCTL started life as a solution to a problem many of us face: HAProxy is often the single point of failure in an otherwise resilient infrastructure.

The original goal was simple. Build a way to monitor HAProxy instances and automatically move traffic if a load balancer became unavailable. Once the first working version was in place, it became clear that the underlying concept was far more powerful than we had anticipated.

By combining lightweight agents with infrastructure-focused automation, we found ourselves solving many of the day-to-day challenges that infrastructure managers encounter. Monitoring, backups, disaster recovery, DNS failover, cPanel replication, service management, and operational visibility could all be brought together into a single platform.

ServersCTL is not intended to replace the tools you already use. Instead, it aims to sit alongside them, providing practical automation and visibility where it matters most.

Today, we are releasing the Linux agent free of charge for anyone to use. Our hope is that it saves you time, reduces operational headaches, helps keep your services online, and perhaps one day saves your bacon when you need a backup or a failover plan.
