The playbook

The run starts read-only: the recon probes decide what happens next. The steps that follow are adapted to the distribution and state found — a real machine is rarely clean.

1. 01recondistro (apt or dnf) and architecture (amd64/arm64)
2. 02reconGlances already present (package or /opt/glances venv)? version?
3. 03reconweb service already active?
4. 04reconport 61208 free?
5. 05reconPython 3.9+ with the venv module?

What it verifies

Each step ships its own check. The run only moves on when the check passes, so what the recipe reports as done is what is actually on the server.

1. 01verifyInstall Python venvVerified bypython3 -c "import venv" && echo ok
2. 02verifyInstall Glances with web modeVerified by/opt/glances/bin/glances --version
3. 03verifyWeb service on 127.0.0.1:61208Verified bysystemctl is-active glances
4. 04verifyThe UI respondsVerified bycurl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://127.0.0.1:61208/

Guardrails

Non-negotiable instructions the run must respect, whatever it finds on the server.

SEC.04

How a recipe runs in Servor

Servor is zero-knowledge: the platform cannot execute anything on its own. When you launch this recipe, a run reads the reconnaissance, plans the steps and asks for your approval. Each approved command is signed by your browser — with a key the server never sees — then relayed verbatim to the agent, which verifies the signature locally before executing.

Deploy on Servor button

Maintain Glances or a project that needs it? Put this button in your README or on your site: one click and your users install it on their own server.
