Show HN: Nautilus – Modern, OSS Linux SSM Built with Tauri/Rust and React

https://github.com/ricardoborges/Nautilus

I’m building Nautilus, a cross-platform desktop manager for Linux servers. While there are many SSH clients out there, I wanted something that combined a high-level dashboard, a full SFTP explorer with an integrated editor, and specialized tools like a Cron job manager and Process monitor—all in a modern, lightweight desktop package.

Key Technical Highlights:

Tauri + Node.JS Sidecar: We use Tauri for the native windowing and Rust security, but the heavy SSH/SFTP lifting is done via a Node.js sidecar (using ssh2). This allowed us to leverage a very mature ecosystem while keeping the frontend performant. Security: We don't store passwords in plain text. We use the OS-native secure vault (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Secret Service via keytar). Modern Stack: React 19 and Vite 7. Features: Multi-tab terminal (xterm.js), real-time CPU/RAM/Network monitoring, visual Cron management, and a reusable snippet library with "secure password" sending.
