Why Vigie?

Tools like htop or btop are great at showing what a server does. Vigie also lets you act on it, from the same screen:

	htop / btop	Cockpit / Webmin	Vigie
Live monitoring	✅	✅	✅
Manage users and systemd services	❌	✅	✅
Works in a plain SSH session	✅	❌ (web browser)	✅
Nothing to expose on the network	✅	❌ (web port)	✅

One binary, no agent, no web server, no open port. Available in English and French.

Features

• 📊 Dashboard: CPU per core, disks, memory and swap, live network rates with history graphs, failed services
• 👤 Users: create, change password, lock / unlock, grant / revoke admin rights, delete
• ⚙️ Processes: sorted by live CPU usage, graceful or forced stop
• 🔧 Services: start, stop, restart, enable / disable at boot
• 🖱️ Everywhere: mouse support, built-in terminal (!), keyboard shortcuts

Safe by design

Vigie can change your system, so it is built to be careful:

• Read-only by default: without sudo, Vigie only shows information, every action is disabled.
• Confirmation before every change: nothing happens on a single keypress.
• Nothing exposed: no daemon, no network port, it runs only while you use it.
• Open source: every command Vigie runs is in the code (MIT license).

Quick start

On Debian / Ubuntu (x86_64), install from the signed APT repository:

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://vigie.elnuagee.fr/nuage-apt.gpg | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/nuage-apt.gpg >/dev/null
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nuage-apt.gpg] https://vigie.elnuagee.fr stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nuage.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install vigie

Then run it:

vigie            # view only
sudo vigie       # view + actions
vigie --lang fr  # French interface
