Your server has a lot going on.
Tako brings it together.
For the servers behind your applications, the machines your team relies on, and the infrastructure you run yourself.
02
Keep the everyday running.
Inspect systemd services and their dependencies. Manage service lifecycles, work with timers, and follow background jobs through to completion.
Services / Timers / Jobs 03
Get to the root of it.
Search the live journal, connect events in the incident timeline, or open a real terminal under your own UNIX identity.
System logs / Incidents / Terminal 04
Make room for what matters.
Browse and manage files, inspect mounted storage, and see interface health and traffic. Keep the details close to the bigger picture.
Files / Storage / Networking 05
Keep access in order.
Manage local users and groups, review SSH access, and inspect SELinux or AppArmor policy state. Administration stays tied to Linux identities.
Accounts / SSH keys / Security 06
Keep your host moving.
Review pending packages, preview changes, and follow update progress. Check hardware, boot history, and restart status before your next maintenance window.

You
Why did the web server stop responding?
A clearer path to an answer
- ✓ Read service state and recent journal entries
- ✓ Compare memory pressure with the failure window
- ✓ Summarize the evidence and suggest a next step
The worker ran out of memory at 09:38. Check the recent workload before restarting the service.
You
Help me prepare this host for updates.
A clearer path to an answer
- ✓ Review pending packages and host restart status
- ✓ Identify services affected by the planned changes
- ✓ Prepare a maintenance checklist for review
Review the package changes, schedule the service interruption, then verify host health after the update.
You
What is taking up space on this server?
A clearer path to an answer
- ✓ Inspect filesystem usage and mounted storage
- ✓ Connect disk activity with running processes
- ✓ Suggest what to inspect before removing anything
Start with the busiest filesystem and its active processes. Review retention settings before deleting files.
01Context before commands. Connect metrics, service state, and logs to understand the problem.
02Make the next step clear. Turn an investigation into a plan you can review.
03Keep people in the picture. Build your workflow around deliberate decisions about your host.

Tako is written in Go, with the dashboard embedded in the executable. It fits into the system you already run, right down to your UNIX login.
Look under the hoodOne executable. The dashboard comes with it.
Go on the host, a responsive interface in your browser. No separate dashboard server to keep running.
Privileges stay where they belong.
An unprivileged gateway, isolated session service, and user bridges keep host authority separate from the web interface.
At home on Linux.
PAM authentication, systemd integration, native package managers, and a terminal that runs as you.
Where can I try Tako?+
The GitHub repository has the source and current development setup. Tako is under active development; follow the project there as it takes shape. Visit the repository.
Which systems does it target?+
Tako is built for Linux with systemd and PAM. Packages target Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Arch Linux, and openSUSE. Available features depend on the services and capabilities of your host.
Can I still use my terminal?+
Yes. Tako includes an interactive terminal that runs under your authenticated UNIX identity. Use the dashboard for context and your shell for the work you prefer to do there.
Where are the docs?+
Documentation is coming soon. For now, the repository includes development and packaging instructions. Visit the documentation page.
