Can SSM work offline?

Is SSM open source?

Absolutely. SSM is fully open source and welcomes community contributions. You can find the code and contribute on GitHub.

What platforms are supported?

SSM is designed to manage Linux servers and containers, but can run on any system that supports Docker. The web UI works in all modern browsers.
