Minimalist, agent-friendly VPS hosting framework
boxmunge turns a fresh VPS into a hardened, production-ready Docker host. Deploy containerised projects with a single command, get automatic TLS, backups, health monitoring, and security updates out of the box.
pip install boxmunge
boxmunge server-setup you@your-server.example.com --email you@example.comThe CLI runs on your local machine and provisions the server over SSH.
Boxmunge servers periodically check for updates to ensure you're protected against known vulnerabilities and critical bugs. This check sends your current version number — nothing else — so the service can tell if a security or break-fix release is available for your release.
Version checks store only a daily count per version. No IP addresses, hostnames, or machine identifiers are stored for them. If an upgrade fails, the server reports the versions and the failed stage. To filter duplicate reports, the sender's IP address (for IPv6, only its /64 network prefix) is kept for about six hours, then discarded. The failure reports themselves are deleted after 90 days.
The source code for this service is open and auditable.
