Seal Report, an open source database reporting and dashboard tool for building, scheduling and publishing SQL and NoSQL reports and interactive dashboards through a web report server.
Seal Report is a free, open source framework for producing database reports and dashboards. It connects to your SQL and NoSQL data sources, lets you design reports and dynamic dashboards from a metadata model with LINQ and Razor templating, and publishes them through a web report server with a browser interface. Reports can pivot, chart, drill down and render as HTML, PDF, Excel or CSV, and a task scheduler can run them on a schedule and distribute the results by email or to a folder. A repository of shared connections and elements lets report authors reuse data definitions across many reports, so a whole reporting layer over your existing databases lives behind one private web application inside your own cloud account.
cloudimg ships Seal Report built from the official open source release and secure by default. A stock demo repository lets a blank user name sign in anonymously, ships a hardcoded backdoor account and a set of demo logins; this image removes all of them, replaces the security script with one that only authenticates a real login, and defines a single administrator in a full rights group. The web report server is bound to loopback behind an nginx reverse proxy, and that public entry point is only brought up after a unique administrator password is generated on each instance's first boot and hashed into the configuration exactly the way Seal Report stores passwords, with the plain value written to a root only file. The .NET runtime is the Ubuntu native package, security patched by the operating system, and every deployment carries a paired deploy guide and 24/7 support.

## Seal Report Web Server - Secure, Ready-to-Run Reporting and Dashboards on AWS
Seal Report by cloudimg gives teams a fully operational open source reporting and dashboard server within minutes of launch - no package installation, no runtime configuration, and no default credentials exposed to the network.
Who Is This For?
This product is built for small-to-mid-size teams that need a self-hosted reporting platform without the overhead of managing a BI stack. Whether you are an IT administrator standing up scheduled reports for a finance department, a data engineer connecting operational dashboards to a PostgreSQL warehouse, or an operations team distributing daily KPI summaries by email, Seal Report provides the framework and this image provides the secure, production-ready deployment.
Example Workflow: Scheduled Financial Reports
A finance team connects Seal Report to their SQL data warehouse, designs a weekly P&L summary with pivot tables and charts using the built-in LINQ and Razor templating engine, and schedules it for automatic generation every Monday at 6 AM. The task scheduler renders the report as a PDF and emails it to the board distribution list - no manual intervention required after initial setup.
What You Get
Secure by Default - No Shared Credentials
A stock Seal Report installation ships with an anonymous login script, a hardcoded backdoor account, and demo logins. This image removes all of them. The security script is replaced with one that only authenticates real logins. A unique administrator password is generated on each instance's first boot and hashed into the configuration before the public endpoint is exposed. The report server is bound to the local loopback interface behind a reverse proxy, so there is never a window in which an unauthenticated instance faces the network. No two deployments share a credential.
Hardened Runtime
The web report server runs as a dedicated unprivileged system user under systemd with automatic restarts, clean logging, and a sandboxed service unit on the native .NET runtime. The base image is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled. An unauthenticated health endpoint is provided for load balancer probes so monitoring needs no credential.
Evaluation Path
Launch on a small instance to evaluate the platform with your own data sources. The server is operational within minutes and every deployment is paired with a step-by-step deploy guide. If the product does not meet your needs, contact cloudimg support for a refund within the evaluation period.
