Welcome to Optimux

Optimux is a web-based server operations platform. Once your servers are linked to your account, every check - monitoring, security scanning, uptime, SSL grading, DNS hygiene, system updates - runs from your dashboard. There is nothing to install on your workstation, no command line to learn, and no API integration to wire up. If you can sign into a website, you can run Optimux.

Create Your Account

Sign up at optimux.io. The registration form collects the basics - email, password, and billing details - and lets you choose between the Free, Business, and Business Managed plans on a monthly or annual cycle. Individuals can register personally; companies can add their legal name, VAT, and billing address up front so every invoice is clean from day one. Email verification activates your account, and you are sent straight to the dashboard.

First Login & Setup Wizard

The first time you sign in, the setup wizard walks you through creating your first Organization and Project. An Organization is the container for your billing and team members; a Project groups servers that share the same alert rules, scan cadence, and notification channels. You can optionally add a server and an uptime monitor inside the wizard so the platform has something to show you on the first screen.

Launch the Operations Dashboard

From optimux.io/dashboard click "Launch Optimux". You are signed into app.optimux.io automatically - no second password, no token to copy. This is where day-to-day work happens: the sidebar is organized into Overview, Optimux (servers, scans, uptime, ports, DNS, updates), Alerts, Reports, and Management. Everything you configure here is scoped to the organization and project you are currently viewing.

Add Your First Server

Open Management > Servers > Add Server, give it a friendly name and an address, then pick the project it belongs to. Once it connects, metrics start flowing within a minute or two, and an initial security scan kicks off in the background. If the check does not turn green within a few minutes, the server page shows the exact reason - unreachable host, firewall blocking the connection, or misconfigured settings - so you can fix it without guessing.

Supported Servers

Optimux runs on Linux servers on both x86_64 and ARM64 (aarch64) hardware, so ARM machines such as Ampere Altra, AWS Graviton, and Hetzner CAX are first-class alongside x86, with identical scanning and monitoring and no price difference. Supported distributions include Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, RHEL, CentOS, Oracle Linux, Amazon Linux, and Fedora. Both physical and virtual servers work, with extra hardware-health sensors surfaced on dedicated and bare-metal machines. Windows is not supported.
