ShellHub

ShellHub is a centralized SSH access gateway and device management platform designed to control, simplify, and audit remote access to servers and IoT/edge devices. It provides a web-based control plane where devices enroll and users connect through controlled, policy-based access.

Key Features

• Device onboarding and inventory with identification and metadata
• SSH access brokerage (gateway) to enrolled devices without exposing them directly
• Web interface to manage devices, users, and access policies
• Role-based access control (RBAC) for organizing and restricting access
• Session visibility/auditing capabilities (connection and access tracking)
• Multi-device fleet management oriented to IoT/edge environments

Use Cases

• Centralize SSH access to production servers with controlled entry points
• Manage remote access to IoT/edge fleets (industrial gateways, kiosks, routers)
• Provide auditable operator/vendor access to customer or branch devices

Limitations and Considerations

• Feature depth and enterprise controls can vary by edition/version; verify required auditing/recording needs in the current release.

ShellHub fits teams that want a single place to enroll devices and broker SSH access with governance controls. It’s especially useful where devices are distributed, behind NAT, or otherwise difficult to access directly, and where access control and traceability matter.
