An Open Source
Linux Platform
Based on OpenVox and designed to:
- Run any app on any server, cloud or on prem, in minutes
- Minimize operational cost
- Maximize security, reliability, digital sovereignty and autonomy
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.
How LinuxAid runs your servers
One catalog. Every server. Every 30 minutes.
- GitYour infrastructure as hiera data, versioned in Git
- OpenVoxOpenVox compiles a catalog per node
- CatalogThe desired state for every server
- Every nodePuppet agent applies the catalog on its 30-min sync
- ObservabilityExporters expose metrics for monitoring
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.
What that means in practice.
Run any app on any server, cloud or on prem
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, on RHEL, Rocky, Alma, Ubuntu, Debian or SUSE.

Minimize operational cost
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, so nobody re-does the same fix. There is no per-node licensing, and roughly 90% of the platform work is shared across customers as open source.
30-minute convergence · no per-node licensing
Maximize security, reliability and sovereignty
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. Everything is AGPL-3.0 and runs on your servers — cancel the subscription and it keeps converging.

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.
Run it yourself, or run it with us.
LinuxAid is AGPL-3.0 and free forever. Subscriptions add Obmondo operations per server — cancel anytime, with expense ceilings so costs stay predictable. Maintenance is shared across customers running the same stack, so nobody pays for the same work twice.
- Full platform, nothing gated
- AGPL-3.0 licensed

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.
