About the Project

AdminHub is an editorial catalogue of free and open-source tools for system administrators: monitoring and logging, backup, remote access, security and infrastructure utilities.

Each program page gives the licence, the version and the supported systems and links to the developer’s official site; guides explain how a tool is installed and configured. Programs have not yet been run in our own lab, so pages do not claim test results.

We do not sell software and do not provide installation, deployment or support services. If you find outdated information, a wrong version or a broken link, tell the editorial team through the contact page.
