πŸ” AMXELA Security Overview

AMXELA is designed with a security-first mindset, ensuring your data, credentials, and infrastructure remain under your full control.


πŸ›‘οΈ Security Principles

  • Local-Only SSH Connections
    All remote commands run directly on your device β€” no external servers or middlemen are involved.

  • Keychain Credential Storage
    SSH passwords and private keys are securely stored using Apple’s Keychain. They are never saved in plaintext or uploaded to the cloud.

  • iCloud Sync (Optional)
    Server configurations (not credentials) are synced privately through your Apple ID using Apple’s CloudKit.

  • No Telemetry or Tracking
    AMXELA does not include any analytics, crash reporters, or tracking libraries.

  • No Root Required
    All monitoring features work with standard or restricted SSH users β€” no elevated access is necessary.


πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» SSH Account Recommendations

To ensure secure usage of AMXELA, we recommend:

  • βœ… Creating a dedicated SSH user for monitoring
  • βœ… Optionally disabling shell access for restricted users
  • βœ… Granting access only to /proc and limited system commands (uptime, df, cat, etc.)
  • ❌ Avoid using root or sudo-enabled users unless absolutely required

🐳 Docker Monitoring Permissions

To monitor Docker containers without using sudo, your SSH user must be part of the docker group on the remote server.

Use the following command:

sudo usermod -aG docker your-user

After running this command, log out and log back in (or restart your SSH session) to apply the group change.


☁️ iCloud + CloudKit Security

  • All data synced via iCloud is encrypted and scoped to your Apple ID
  • Credentials are never included in synced data
  • Sync can be disabled at any time in your device’s system settings

πŸ“¦ Open Source Libraries

AMXELA uses the following open-source libraries:

  • NMSSH – MIT License
  • libssh2 – BSD License

See the Licenses page for full license text and attribution.


πŸ”’ No Third-Party Servers

AMXELA runs 100% locally. We do not operate any proxy, backend, cloud service, or telemetry engine.

All connections occur between your device and your own servers β€” directly.
