Agent Architecture

A secure, lightweight daemon that puts you in control without sacrificing security.

Secure & Low Resource

The WolfPanel Agent is a small Python program (standard library only) that runs as a systemd service. It runs as root but executes only a whitelisted set of actions that you trigger from the panel.

The agent talks to the panel over TLS (HTTPS and secure WebSockets). Because the connection is outbound, the agent adds no listening port to your server.

Key Advantages

No Listening Port

The agent opens no port of its own. No incoming traffic is needed to manage your server through it.

Auto Healing

If the connection drops, the agent reconnects automatically with backoff.

Signed Updates

You update the agent from the panel with one click. Every release is signed and verified on the server before it is installed.

Secure your infrastructure today

Install the agent in a few minutes and manage your servers securely.
