Vultr Mobile App

Yes, **if ** Vultr published it, I would be more likely to use it.

You aren't asking the right questions. You are saying "How do I specfically do X?" not "What is the best way to achieve my desired results?."

Managing instances from a mobile is just a bad idea, I understand you are out and about and you may need to run a remote command or two on your mobile. Managing the console does nothing to help you. What you really need is SSH. There are apps that let you save SSH commands so if you needed to restart your database service you could save the command and it do it with a single click. You can automate updates that way or you can use something like unattended-upgrades to automatically do that for you.

In no scenario do I see having an app for Vultr being beneficial. Let us know what problem you are actually trying to solve.

@IRJ in this case: I’m only asking thoughts on the app and nothing more.

I have and use Termius and do some minor things via my mobile device. Everything else sits until I return home to dual 24” screens.

Consensus is that the app is not safe and doesn’t add enough benefit so- ignore it.

You are missing the point. He was managing the instances. Not the server running in the instances.

What is he managing that he can't do from ssh?

Not that I would need to deploy many instances- but if this was for my office- spin up a new instance, or burn one, support requests, billing, add on storage- etc.

Since my use case is personal, I don’t need all that, it can all wait till I get home. I can update, even rescan the files to update the file dB all from ssh- which I do via Termius.

You know. The instance. Not the server... FFS you dense today or what?

If it was for your office, one would hope that it wouldn't be blocked.

These aren't things that the app would allow anyway. It's a Vultr app, not an SSH app.
