A fleet drifts one hotfix at a time.

Every server starts identical. A year of hand edits, hurried patches and forgotten firewall holes later, no two are alike — and nobody can say why.

  • Snowflake servers

    Hand-edited configs turn a fleet into a collection of special cases nobody dares rebuild.

  • The patching backlog

    Security updates wait for a quiet week that never comes.

  • The audit scramble

    When someone asks who changed what and when, the honest answer is a shrug.

The catalog line

How LinuxAid runs your servers

One catalog. Every server. Every 30 minutes.

Quick start

Enroll a node in one command.

linuxaid-install puts the openvox-agent on a server and signs it into your fleet. Thirty minutes later it has converged — and it keeps converging.

Convergence is the feature.

Converge continuously

OpenVox compiles a catalog per node from layered role, profile and hiera data. Agents pull every 30 minutes and correct drift automatically — a hand-edited config simply gets put back.

Ship the whole stack

A server becomes a role in one line: 85 ready-made roles built on 151 curated Puppet modules — from Nginx, PostgreSQL and GitLab to Mailcow, WordPress and Slurm HPC — installed and kept current from GPG-signed package repositories.

Watch and prove

Every node gets up to 24 Prometheus exporter integrations automatically — from node and RAID health to per-service metrics — wired to Grafana and Alertmanager. Every configuration change is a Git commit with an author and a diff.

Inspection

Provable, not just patched.

Configuration lives in Git, packages are GPG-signed, and every change has an author and a timestamp. That is what GDPR, CIS and NIS2 conversations need — evidence, not assurances. The same hardened setups have carried customers through independent penetration tests and Cyber Essentials Plus recertification.

Digital sovereignty

Sovereignty you can exit-test.

LinuxAid is AGPL-3.0 on top of OpenVox, the open-source Puppet-compatible configuration system — no per-node licensing, ever. Your setup runs on your servers and stays there: cancel the subscription and everything keeps converging. That is the exit test proprietary tooling fails. And because roughly 90% of the platform work is shared across customers as open source, nobody builds compliance alone.

FAQ

Yes. The full platform is AGPL-3.0 with nothing gated behind a paid edition. Subscriptions add operations, response times and support — not features.

Ansible pushes changes when someone runs a playbook. LinuxAid agents pull and enforce the desired state every 30 minutes — drift is corrected continuously, not at the next run.

No. The role, profile and hiera layers are maintained for you — your team describes what a server should be, in data. Teams that know Puppet can go as deep as they like.

RHEL, Rocky and Alma, Ubuntu 20.04–24.04, Debian and SUSE are covered with per-OS data out of the box — across cloud and on-prem.

The setup stays on your servers and keeps converging — you retain full control. Alert handling and consultation from the subscription stop; the platform does not.
