- Hacker News AIInitial submission of Mellonbot – an AI agent for Linux server diagnostics
Mellonbot is an AI agent that connects to a Linux server via a single outbound-only command and performs read-only checks on the site, SSL, services, disk, updates, security and databases. When a check fails, its AI investigates logs and recent changes to identify the root cause, then proposes fixes that run only after user approval, with backups and undo steps. It supports WordPress, Laravel, Node, static and custom sites on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 or Debian 12 VPS or dedicated servers, with a free plan of 100 credits to start and 50 per month thereafter.
