Looking for a way to remote in to K's of raspberry pi's...

1. Anthias

   1 26 2,802 9.5 Python

   The world's most popular open source digital signage project.

   

   I used ScreenlyOSE Anthias + BalenaCloud on about 7 Pi devices to manage a small-scale DSS rollout. BalenaCloud allowed fleet-wide updates, etc. and a rudimentary VPN tunnel to connect to each Pi. It might scale to 4,000, but you'll spend a lot of time babysitting that.

2. Judoscale

   Save 47% on cloud hosting with autoscaling that just works. Judoscale integrates with Django, FastAPI, Celery, and RQ to make autoscaling easy and reliable. Save big, and say goodbye to request timeouts and backed-up task queues.

   

3. MeshCentral

   2 194 4,872 9.6 JavaScript

   A complete web-based remote monitoring and management web site. Once setup you can install agents and perform remote desktop session to devices on the local network or over the Internet.

   

   Anyway you can use meshcentral for this purpose.

4. superputty

   3 4 1,955 2.0 C#

   The SuperPuTTY Window Manager for putty sessions

   

   I use to use SuperPutty Documentation to do work on our Solaris boxes, when I WFH.

5. ngrok

   4 133 2,359 3.4 JavaScript

   Expose your localhost to the web. Node wrapper for ngrok. (by bubenshchykov)

   

   considering the edit, I would suggest some sort of ingress as a service, assign each unit an ID, and use something like ngrok https://ngrok.com/ to provide some connectivity and route to an ID. Direct interface the devices from there.

6. SaltStack

   5 46 14,483 9.9 Python

   Software to automate the management and configuration of infrastructure and applications at scale.

   

7. Ansible

   6 410 64,819 9.8 Python

   Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.

   

8. Fail2Ban

   7 54 13,880 9.1 Python

   Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors

   

   now some things you need to think about: - cloud init - this will need to be secure so lock it down hard anything not needed an alternative OS to look at if you have the ability's is https://www.alpinelinux.org/ also as these devices are not that powerfull every extra agent / abstaction layer you add impacts performance need to look at low over head security https://www.crowdsec.net/ and https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban (if you call fail2ban security) - using certificates to authenticate ssh login
