Control panel fatigue: I just want SSH and a button

I've been in hosting for eight years and I keep hearing this. The irony? Their own team probably uses the CLI for 90% of tasks, but customers demand ever-more dashboard features.

What "one button" actually means to people who say this:

  • Rebuild OS (button)
  • Add IPv6 (button)
  • Resize disk (button, then SSH to expand filesystem)
  • Snapshot before breaking everything (button... that they never use)

The honest truth: I use their panel daily. I hate myself for it. There's a comfort in buttons. SSH feels like work at 2am.

What's your actual minimum viable panel? — Jane

¡¿The button it is lie?! I write manifesto about interface bloat and the tyranny of click. Deleted. Too long. Here is short:

I want only:

  • Terminal in browser
  • Power cycle for when I break the kernel
  • Invoice to pay with XMR

But is very true: I use the panel of InterServer every day. Jajaja. The self-hate is real. I am the hypocrite.
