A target holds everything needed to reach one server. Credentials are encrypted at rest
under a key derived from SECRET_KEY and are never shown again after saving.
Give a known_hosts file, or tick auto-add to accept an unknown host key on
first contact. Auto-add trades away detection of a machine-in-the-middle on that first
connection.
The named actions — check the connection, create the remote directory, list backups —
run fixed commands with no free-form input. Setting
DBS_ADMIN_CONSOLE_SHELL = True also enables an open command box, which gives
every superuser arbitrary command execution on that server from a browser. It is off by
default for that reason. Every console action is written to the audit log.
