Work Session has landed—ephemeral, just-in-time access for your workspace

Alpacon team — Wed, 27 May 2026 00:03:26 GMT

Alpacon features now run inside Work Sessions—request access for the exact time you need, and it's automatically revoked when the session ends.
Every access carries an approval and audit trail, so security and governance are built into your workflow by default.

Access Alpacon features through Work Sessions

Request a Work Session, get access to the servers and features you need for the time you specify, and access is automatically revoked when the session ends. Websh, WebFTP, and every existing feature keep working inside Sessions as before.

Get started with a Session

In Sessions, select the servers and features you want to work with.
Set the Session duration and submit your request.
An admin approves the request from the Pending approvals tab.
Once approved, work within the Session just as you always have.

Superusers start immediately

Superusers can start a Session without approval. Your existing workflow stays exactly the same.

Session duration

Sessions can last up to 7 days. Manage the maximum allowed duration in Workspace settings.

Session history stays the same

Every activity is logged just as before, now grouped per Session so your audit trail is tighter.

Windows servers, now in Alpacon—plus a cleaner server view

Alpacon team — Tue, 26 May 2026 23:50:33 GMT

In this issue, we're sharing two updates to your server management experience. Windows servers can now be connected to Alpacon and managed through an AI agent, and the server list has a fresh new look.

🪟 Windows servers, now in Alpacon

For most teams, managing Windows servers has meant logging into Remote Desktop, clicking through settings manually, or having to go in yourself every time something needs to be done—it's always been manual work.

The era of agentic server management is here. Remote Desktop is a tool designed for humans, not AI. That's why we deployed Alpacon to work with Windows terminals. The terminal is the most natural interface for AI agents. With Alpacon connected to your Windows server, AI server management is not only easy, but secure.

Full platform coverage

Alpacon started with Ubuntu and Red Hat-based Linux servers. Then came macOS support. Now, with the deployment of Windows compatibility, all major server environments can be connected through Alpacon in one place. And not just for humans! AI agents have access too. Now any server connected to Alpacon, regardless of OS, can be managed the same way.

Select the Windows platform from the server registration screen, follow the setup guide, and your Windows server is registered in Alpacon.

Same experience, every platform

Terminal access, file management, audit logs, access control—everything works exactly the same as other servers already registered in Alpacon. AI agents work the same way too, through the Alpacon CLI. That means one workflow, one agent—regardless of OS.

Connect Linux, macOS, and Windows to Alpacon and manage everything in one place.

🖥️ A better way to view your servers

Card grid and view toggle

Server status and details are now easier to scan at a glance. A new card grid and view toggle let you switch between card and list view anytime, so you can see your server list exactly how you want. The layout is also optimized for mobile, so you can check server status comfortably on the go.

Unified filters

Finding the servers you need is now even faster. Filters are now unified at the top of the screen—browse by ownership, favorites, or group! Deregistered servers are shown with a separate badge so active ones are easy to spot, making Alpacon even easier to use.
