macOS Server is gone, but the open-source services it wrapped are still on your Mac. What's missing is the management, security and monitoring layer.

The modern replacement

A maintained Apache/PHP stack, real TLS, the macOS firewall, fail2ban, monitoring — wrapped in one app that also does fleet management and a guarded AI Administrator.

Run it all from one Mac app.

FrontierStack installs, monitors and secures the whole stack — locally and across your fleet — from a single native macOS app.
