Explore Spark: Go-Powered Web UI for Cross-Platform Remote Control

Today we recommend an open‑source project: XZB-1248/Spark.

In one sentence, Spark is a Go‑written, web‑UI, cross‑platform, multi‑function remote control and monitoring tool that lets you monitor and control all devices anytime, anywhere.

Web‑based – runs in any modern browser.

Provides API – enables custom remote device control.

Cross‑platform support – works on macOS, Linux, Windows.

Private deployment – no data leaves the network; server has no auto‑update.

Web shell support – full‑platform web shell (not Guacamole).

File management – upload, package download, text edit, code highlighting, image preview.

System information – MAC, WAN, LAN, memory, CPU, disk, bandwidth, etc.

Basic functions – shutdown, reboot, logout, sleep via system API, not shell commands.

Device screenshot – requires user permission on Windows.

Process management – currently only kill process, view PID.

All‑in‑one – written in Go, no environment installation needed.

Remote Process Management

Remote File Management

Spark is entirely browser‑based; installing the corresponding agent on any device enables remote control via the browser.

Download the binary to start quickly:

Download the server, configure config.json according to the documentation.

Run the server and access it via IP:port, e.g., http://localhost:8000/.

Generate a client in the management UI and deploy it to devices.

Configuration File

Create a config.json file in the server root with the following structure:

{
    "listen": ":8000",
    "salt": "123456abcdef",
    "auth": {
        "username": "password"
    },
    "log": {
        "level": "info",
        "path": "./logs",
        "days": 7
    }
}

listen

(required) – format IP:port. salt (required) – max length 24; change requires redeploying clients. auth (optional) – format username:password. Passwords should be hashed (e.g., $sha256$112233...) using supported algorithms sha256, sha512, or bcrypt. Plain text is used if format is incorrect. log (optional) – logging configuration: level (optional) – one of disable, fatal, error, warn, info, debug. path (optional) – default ./logs. days (optional) – default 7.

Spark currently supports Windows, Linux, and macOS, with most features available across all three systems. The feature list is illustrated below:
