Problem

Developers who need to work on multiple remote machines often juggle separate SSH sessions, manual file transfers, and disparate tooling, which makes managing context and tracking active sessions cumbersome and error‑prone.

Solution

BotDock provides a lightweight, single‑page web interface that centralizes the management of SSH‑based development sessions across any number of remote hosts. The platform runs a background daemon that maintains agent status, allows tagging of sessions, and presents a unified view of all active connections. With one click, users can launch a remote file browser or a VS Code server scoped to the current working directory, both reverse‑proxied through BotDock so the entire workflow stays within a single browser tab. Reusable context bundles—such as markdown snippets, git repositories with deploy keys, or arbitrary file collections—can be prepared once and injected into any session on demand, ensuring consistent environment setup across machines. Session data, including keys, logs, and transcripts, can be exported as portable zip files for backup or migration.

Target Audience

BotDock is aimed at individual developers, researchers, and small engineering teams who regularly work on multiple remote servers and need a streamlined way to manage development sessions and shared context.

Features

Single-page dashboard that lists and tracks all active SSH sessions with status indicators and customizable tags
One‑click launch of a remote file browser or VS Code server, automatically reverse‑proxied to the local browser
Context bundle management for reusable snippets, repositories, and file sets that can be pushed into any session’s workdir
Per‑session export functionality that packages machine details, SSH keys, logs, and transcripts into a portable zip archive
Simple installation via a one‑line script for macOS and Linux, with automatic upgrades using the same command
Ability to run the daemon in a specific directory to keep session state isolated per project
