I built a live map of my servers so I'd stop SSHing into 5 boxes to debug one thing

I kept SSHing into servers and running the same commands just to see what was running:

kubectl get pods
docker ps
systemctl status
top

Different tools, different boxes, no single picture. So I built InfraCanvas.

You install one agent on a Linux server. It draws everything โ€” Kubernetes, Docker, systemd, processes โ€” as one live map. Color-coded by health, updates in real time.

Click anything to see its details. And you can act right there: restart, scale, rollback, open a terminal, tail logs. No SSH.

A few things I cared about building it:

  • Agent is outbound-only โ€” no ports to open, no firewall changes.
  • Secrets stay home โ€” secret env vars get redacted before they leave your server.
  • Runs as your user, not root.

Try it (read-only demo, no signup): https://demo.infracanvas.app
Free tier on your own box: https://cloud.infracanvas.app

I'm a solo dev. Honest question: does seeing infra as a map actually help, or is kubectl muscle memory good enough? Tell me where it breaks.
