It enables comprehensive visibility into outdated packages and supports safe automation, all while maintaining a strong security posture through its outbound-only agent model. This means no inbound ports are required on your monitored hosts, significantly reducing the attack surface. Key features include a customizable dashboard, multi-user accounts with roles and permissions, detailed host and package inventory, and a robust REST API for integrations. PatchMon supports various Linux distributions, including Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Red Hat, making it a versatile tool for system administrators and DevOps teams. Learn more about PatchMon on its [official website](https://patchmon.net "PatchMon Website" target="_blank") or explore the [source code on GitHub](https://github.com/PatchMon/PatchMon "PatchMon GitHub Repository" target="_blank"). ## Installation PatchMon offers flexible self-hosting options, with Docker being the preferred method for quick setup. ### Docker Installation For detailed instructions on getting started with Docker, please refer to the [official Docker documentation](https://github.com/PatchMon/PatchMon/blob/main/docker/README.md "PatchMon Docker Documentation" target="_blank"). ### Native Install (Ubuntu/Debian) For advanced users or non-Docker environments, PatchMon can be installed natively on a clean Ubuntu or Debian server. Ensure your server meets the minimum specifications (2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 15GB Disk). First, update your system and install `curl`: bash # For Debian apt update -y apt upgrade -y apt install curl -y # For Ubuntu apt-get update -y apt-get upgrade -y apt install curl -y Then, run the one-line installer script: bash curl -fsSL -o setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PatchMon/PatchMon/refs/heads/main/setup.sh && chmod +x setup.sh && bash setup.sh During setup, you will be prompted for details like your domain/IP, SSL preference, and email (if SSL is enabled). After installation, visit `http(s)://` to complete the first-time admin setup. ## Examples To ensure PatchMon reflects the latest package status immediately after a manual update on your host, you can manually trigger the agent to send results: bash /usr/local/bin/patchmon-agent.sh update This command forces the agent to collect and transmit the current package information to your PatchMon server without waiting for the next scheduled update. ## Why Use PatchMon? * **Centralized Management:** Gain a single pane of glass for managing patch status across all your Linux servers. * **Enhanced Security:** The outbound-only agent model eliminates the need for inbound firewall rules on monitored hosts, significantly reducing your attack surface. * **Broad OS Support:** Seamlessly monitor and manage updates for popular distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Red Hat. * **Automation & Visibility:** Get comprehensive insights into outdated packages and leverage safe automation features to streamline your update processes. * **Flexible Deployment:** Choose between easy Docker deployment or a native installer for Ubuntu/Debian, adapting to your infrastructure needs. * **API & Integrations:** Utilize the powerful REST API for custom integrations, including automatic discovery and enrollment of Proxmox LXC containers. ## Links * **Website:** [patchmon.net](https://patchmon.net "PatchMon Website" target="_blank") * **Documentation:** [docs.patchmon.net](https://docs.patchmon.net "PatchMon Documentation" target="_blank") * **GitHub Repository:** [PatchMon/PatchMon](https://github.com/PatchMon/PatchMon "PatchMon GitHub Repository" target="_blank") * **Discord:** [Join the PatchMon Discord Server](https://patchmon.net/discord "PatchMon Discord Server" target="_blank") * **Roadmap:** [View the PatchMon Roadmap](https://github.com/users/9technologygroup/projects/1 "PatchMon Roadmap" target="_blank")
