Helmsman gives you one clean place to provision sites, issue certificates, run databases, schedule backups, and harden security across your servers — without the clutter of a traditional admin panel.
Each server and web app gets isolated users, its own PHP-FPM pool, and clear day-to-day controls.
Provision a site or one-click WordPress in seconds — each isolated as its own system user and FPM pool.
Free Let's Encrypt certificates with auto-renewal, plus per-app PHP directives and FPM process tuning.
Create and manage MariaDB databases and users, with phpMyAdmin available per site when you need it.
Encrypted, scheduled backups to your own object storage, with retention and one-click restore.
Firewall, brute-force protection, key-only SSH, and automatic security updates — checked at a glance.
Live CPU, memory, disk and service health, with instant notifications when something needs you.
Helmsman sends transactional email only to its own account holders — server up/down alerts, backup success and failure notices, security alerts, sign-in (2FA) codes, and password resets. No marketing, no bulk mail, no lists. Every message is triggered by your own servers or your own actions.
