In their own words

Nexterm

Nexterm is free, open-source server management software for connecting to servers over SSH, VNC and RDP, with Telnet also listed among its supported protocols. It includes SFTP file management, real-time CPU, memory and process monitoring, and tools for deploying applications via Docker and managing Proxmox LXC and QEMU containers. Organizations can share server access with team members; command snippets and customizable scripts help manage and automate repetitive tasks. The project lists two-factor authentication and OIDC single sign-on, while its documentation also covers LDAP and Active Directory authentication. It documents server-side encryption for passwords and private keys and requires an encryption key for secure data storage. Deployment options include all-in-one, server-only and engine-only Docker images, with split server and engine deployments for distributed setups. Connector downloads are listed for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Nexterm is distributed under the MIT License. Its installation documentation says it is still in beta and recommends regular backups and reporting issues on GitHub.
