Managed infrastructure

Self-hosted business systems, without the headaches

Your ERP, website, and internal tools deserve a home that's fast, secure, and under your control. We run them on our managed NixOS platform, or on servers in your own building, and take care of backups, monitoring, updates, identity, and email so your team can get on with its work.

Talk infrastructureWhat the platform provides

Own your systems without becoming an IT department

Software-as-a-service is convenient until the price goes up, the vendor changes direction, or you need something it won't do. Self-hosting gives you control, but most growing businesses don't want to manage servers, patches, and backups themselves.

We bridge that gap. You get the control and ownership of self-hosting, with a team that runs the infrastructure for you.

What our platform provides

Our NixOS hosting platform is built to be simple to operate, hard to break, and easy to audit.

Declarative from top to bottom

Every server's configuration lives in version control. Nodes pull their configuration from git and apply it automatically, so every change is reviewed, recorded, and repeatable. If a server fails, a replacement is built from the same definition.

Isolated workloads, without the complexity

Each ERP, website, and app runs in its own isolated container on bare-metal servers, orchestrated by Nomad. You get dependable isolation and scheduling without the overhead of a Kubernetes cluster.

Databases that stay up

Highly available PostgreSQL and MariaDB clusters for Odoo, ERPNext, and WordPress, so a single failed server doesn't take your business offline.

Storage and backups

ZFS and S3-compatible object storage for files and media, and automatic, encrypted offsite backups with restic.

Monitoring and logs

Metrics, dashboards, and centralized logs with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki, so we see problems early and can trace them quickly.

Identity and single sign-on

Central user management with FreeIPA and single sign-on, so people get one login and leave cleanly when they move on.

Email delivery

Outbound and inbound email for your ERP and websites delivered through Cloudflare, with durable retry queues so messages aren't lost when something hiccups. No SMTP servers to babysit.

File sharing and offsite backup

Shared folders, cloud file access, and offsite backup for the files your team works with every day.

Security by design

  • No open inbound ports. Every site and app reaches the internet through its own Cloudflare Tunnel. There's nothing exposed on our servers for attackers to probe.

  • Encrypted secrets. Passwords and keys are stored encrypted, never in plain text in configuration.

  • Minimal, current systems. Servers carry only the software they need, and updates roll out through the same reviewed configuration as everything else.

  • Auditable. Because the whole platform is defined in code, you can see exactly what's running and how it's configured.

When the server belongs in your building

Some work needs local hardware: production equipment, large files, or a network that has to keep working when the internet doesn't. We build and manage on-premises servers too, such as a dedicated production server for a print shop, with the same declarative configuration, monitoring, identity, and offsite backups as our hosted platform.

No lock-in, by design

Our platform is built on open-source tools from top to bottom. The configurations that run your systems can run anywhere: on our servers, on yours, or with another provider. Your data lives in standard databases and storage you can export at any time. If you ever decide to move, you take everything with you.

Common questions

Something else on your mind? Call (717) 814-8540.

Do we have to host with Avunu to work with you?

No. We're happy to deploy on your own servers or with another provider. Our platform is simply the option we can support most completely.

How is hosting priced?

Hosting is quoted as part of each engagement, based on the systems you run, their size, and the level of support you need.

Can you move our existing systems?

Yes. We migrate ERPNext, Odoo, and WordPress systems from other hosts, and we plan cutovers to keep downtime to a minimum.

What about our office computers and network?

Our focus is the business systems themselves, but we can help with staff computers, file sharing, and backups as part of a larger engagement.
