MeshCentral is an open-source, self-hosted web application for remote management of computers. From a browser, users can reach managed systems’ desktops and terminals, and download, upload, rename, or organize their files. Support sessions can include text chat and, when WebRTC is available, video chat. Administration tools include Wake-on-LAN, remote power management, TCP and UDP port forwarding, and activity logs. Multiple users and tenants can work with separate permissions across device groups. With Intel AMT, supported computers can be powered on remotely, accessed at BIOS level, and managed while their operating system is unavailable. MeshCentral supports Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Android, and web browsers, with file transfer, session recording, and mobile apps. Installation uses Node.js and npm; the default database is NeDB, while MongoDB is suggested for advanced users. Security options listed include two-factor authentication, FIDO2 hardware keys, TLS 1.3, and optional database record encryption. It can retrieve configuration and secrets from HashiCorp Vault. The project uses the Apache 2.0 license and offers a free plan.
