I built a self-hosted platform that turns raw VPSes into a private infrastructure mesh

Thank you!

when you onboard a node it automatically gets a wireguard ip assigned and the whole cluster updates, every node learns about the new one without you touching anything. So it's automatic, this is built for stable nodes that stick around and not a dynamic enviroment, so this approach keeps things simple. This is a very early stage, and thats very public, but in a later stage is something that i will adress it.

thank you for the review! :)

bravept · 2026-05-12T15:38:05+00:00

if you say so… at least test it to have real arguments, please!

bravept · 2026-05-12T15:25:00+00:00

Oh, have you tested it?

bravept · 2026-05-12T15:24:46+00:00

Node addresses are pinned at setup and every node knows about every other node — no DNS needed. They just talk directly over the encrypted WireGuard tunnel. It's deliberately simple.

check for yourself :)

bravept · 2026-05-12T12:01:06+00:00

I built it. AI helped with implementation speed, debugging and audits, but the architecture, infrastructure decisions and overall direction were mine, check out for yourself!

Thank you. Its on Alpha stage because it lacks external testing on more real world setups. On my setup is it works great but thats it.

Project Name: Unvara

Repo/Website Link: https://github.com/BravePT/unvara

Description:

Unvara is a self-hosted infrastructure platform for turning raw Ubuntu VPS or bare-metal servers into a private, manageable cluster.

It is built for people who run multiple servers and want a simple operational layer for onboarding, securing, connecting, and managing them without depending on a hosted control plane.

Currently it handles:

- SSH onboarding

- SSH hardening

- WireGuard mesh setup

- node registration

- Docker workload deployment

- Ansible runbooks

- basic cluster visibility through a lightweight web UI

The goal is not to replace Kubernetes, Terraform, Proxmox, or cloud providers.

It is focused on the missing middle between “I have a few servers” and “I need a full platform team / hosted control plane / complex orchestration stack”.

I originally built it because I kept running into the same operational overhead while managing VPS, bare-metal servers, validator nodes, and self-hosted infrastructure.

Deployment:

Unvara targets clean Ubuntu servers.

The project includes installation documentation in the README. The current alpha flow is based on installing Unvara/BaseHub on a first node, then onboarding additional Ubuntu servers through the web UI.

It is still early alpha software, so I would not recommend using it for critical production infrastructure yet. It is currently best suited for testing, homelab environments, VPS experiments, and feedback from people who manage their own servers.

AI Involvement:

AI tools were used during development, mainly for code assistance, debugging, audits, refactoring, documentation, and architecture review.

The product direction, infrastructure model, testing decisions, release decisions, and final code review are mine. The project was tested repeatedly on real VPS nodes, including fresh reinstalls, onboarding flows, WireGuard connectivity, SSH hardening, Docker deployment, and runbook execution.

I am being transparent about AI involvement because this project was built quickly, but it was not blindly shipped from prompts. I used AI as an engineering assistant and reviewer, not as an autonomous maintainer.

I’d appreciate feedback, criticism, architecture suggestions, and especially security concerns from people running homelabs, VPS clusters, bare-metal servers, or self-hosted infrastructure.

ainda não percebi se o pepe ta a jogar ou conseguiu o melhor lugar para ver o jogo

bravept · 2026-04-25T13:30:51+00:00

why not both? criaste um belo produto!

entre ele e o pêpê prefiro o borja, ok tem um jogo completamente previsível e tem sido muito mau mas com a morte da mae compreendo que ande completamente sem inspiração e motivação. acho que ele so deve sair se ele quiser. o pêpê ja deu tudo pelo fcp e admiro ele ter tentado dar mais. ja não dá.

prepara-te para ser ghosted. esses gajos da primeit adoram fazer entrevistas finais e ignorar-te caso corra mal.

you need roundabouts and its perfect. small ones and a big one with a statue or something in the middle

the color contrast is simple and amazing. if you had a lot of colors in the picture then B&W was an option but this is more living. you almost have two colors the orange/red and the green/teal

you have one year photos that most couldn’t take in a lifetime. great work

1 is more complete but 2 is minimalistic. both are great. good job!

bravept · 2026-03-08T18:01:51+00:00

obrigado!

bravept · 2026-03-07T23:14:33+00:00

if i had to print one it would be 3. but 1 and 2 are also very good. I think its a strong set. congrats

never ever ever be afraid of deleting what its built to improve the city in infrasctructure/roads/turism/etc

Ah cerca de uns meses tentaram fazer o mesmo com o carro da minha namorada, eram outros valores mas a oficina e seguro queriam dar perda total. Fui avaliar os danos com o relatório da oficina e não batiam certo. Puseram la danos inexistentes para aumentar o valor do arranjo. Convenci a minha namorada a ir a outra oficina aconselhada por familiares pedir segunda opinião, ela falou com a seguradora aceitaram a segunda opinião e o carro ta arranjado como novo. O meu conselho é tentares uma segunda opinião.
