Hosting Remote Control (HRC)

A Curated Suite for Command-Line Hosting Management

HRC is a modular, script-driven toolset built for developers, sysadmins, and hosting providers who need precision control over their Linux-based environments. From spinning up new NGINX or Apache sites to managing ColdFusion services, automating backups, or optimizing disk usage, HRC empowers you to operate with confidence and speed.

Centralized Configuration

At the heart of HRC is the hrc-configuration file, your single source of truth.
Define backup paths, hostname aliases, and global environment values in one place.
Every HRC command pulls from this central file, enabling:

  • Seamless deployment across servers
  • Easy customization to fit your stack
  • Cleaner, safer, and more maintainable scripts
