ChiefHub Get early access

Self-hosted · one-time purchase

Hire a CEO for your server.

ChiefHub runs on your own Linux server. Tell it what you want, like “keep my sites online”. It watches for you, tells you when something breaks, and only fixes things after you say yes.

See pricing How it works

One command to install. Runs natively as a systemd service. No Docker, no monthly fee.

How it works

Goals in. A calmer server out.

  1. Install with one command

    Unzip on your server and run sudo bash deploy/install.sh. Setup then asks three short questions.

  2. Say what you want

    “Keep all client sites up.” “SSL never expires.” “Disk under 80%.” ChiefHub suggests the checks, and you approve them.

  3. It keeps watch

    Your sites, certificates, domains, backups and the server itself, every minute. One screen tells you if all is well.

  4. You approve every fix

    Fixes come from a short list of safe actions and wait for your OK. Every decision is recorded.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don’t

For agencies and freelancers who run their own servers and want answers, not another wall of graphs.

Goals, not dashboards

Write what you want as a sentence. ChiefHub turns it into checks and tells you in plain words whether you’re on track.

Sites and server, covered

Uptime, speed, SSL and domain expiry, backups, disk, memory, crashed services and login attacks.

Fixes wait for your OK

Restart a service, renew certificates, clear old logs, start a backup. Nothing runs until you approve, unless you allow it.

Alerts and a daily report

Email, Slack or Discord when something breaks, plus a one-page report every morning.

Private by design

Runs on your server, data stays there. Password login, and a permanent record of every decision.

Light and simple

No Docker, no extra services. Works on your phone, in light or dark mode.

Good to know: ChiefHub watches from inside your server. If the whole VPS goes down, it can’t alert you, so pair it with an outside uptime check.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

How do I install it?

Unzip the download on your Linux VPS (Ubuntu or Debian 22.04+), then run sudo bash deploy/install.sh. It installs Node 22 if needed, sets up ChiefHub in /opt/chiefhub and enables it as a systemd service with a random admin password.

Does it use Docker?

No. ChiefHub runs natively as a systemd service using Node 22 and its built-in SQLite. It can still watch Docker containers you already run.

Will it change my server without asking?

Not by default. Every fix waits in Actions for your OK, with the exact command one click away. You can allow selected low-risk actions to run on their own. Blocking an IP and installing security updates can never auto-run.

Does my data leave the server?

No. Metrics and history stay in SQLite on your VPS. The optional AI goal parser uses your own key and only sees the goal text you write.

How does the licence work?

You get an offline licence key by email. Paste it during install or later in Settings → Licence. Without a key, ChiefHub runs with trial limits of 3 sites.

What if I have more than one server?

Agency and Studio licences cover more than one server. Each server is its own install and dashboard; there is no central fleet view yet.

Can I buy it today?

Direct checkout isn’t open yet. Email support@frontkiosk.net and we’ll tell you when it is. If you have a partner (for example RocketHub) lifetime code, you can redeem it here.

What is the refund policy?

Partner-code and RocketHub purchases have a 30-day, no-questions-asked refund from the date the code was redeemed or the licence key was issued. See the refund policy and the end-user licence.
