  Velaris: One Self-Hosted Platform to Replace Your Entire Ops Stack
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We built Velaris because modern engineering and operations teams are duct-taping&lt;br&gt;
together 6–8 separate tools — a workflow engine here, a project tracker there,&lt;br&gt;
an observability stack, a CI/CD pipeline, an AI assistant, a customer portal —&lt;br&gt;
each with its own pricing, its own auth, its own data silo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Velaris replaces all of it. One platform. Your infrastructure. Full control.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Live:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://velaris-app-os.duckdns.org" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://velaris-app-os.duckdns.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;GitHub:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://github.com/Velaris-App-OS/Velaris-App-OS" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/Velaris-App-OS/Velaris-App-OS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What it is
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A unified, self-hosted operational intelligence platform that brings together&lt;br&gt;
workflow orchestration, project management, observability, DevOps operations,&lt;br&gt;
system administration, and AI-driven automation into a single extensible&lt;br&gt;
ecosystem — fully controlled by your own infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not a SaaS. Not a collection of microservices you stitch together yourself.&lt;br&gt;
A cohesive platform that ships production-ready on a single Ubuntu box.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Architecture
&lt;/h2&gt;


&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;

&lt;td&gt;Redpanda&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;AI&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ollama (local LLMs) + Anthropic Claude (optional)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Auth&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;JWT, bcrypt, TOTP MFA, RBAC + ABAC&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Orchestration&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Docker Compose (local), Helm charts (Kubernetes)&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Core Modules
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Workflow Orchestration
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Temporal-backed BPMN 2.0 engine for durable, long-running workflows.&lt;br&gt;
Visual case designer with drag-and-drop stages, steps, and forms.&lt;br&gt;
BPM importer from 12 vendors — Camunda, Visio, Lucidchart, Signavio, and more.&lt;br&gt;
HxFusion for cross-case automation with SLA-triggered escalation trees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Project Management — HxWork
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tasks, stories, and sprints built directly into the platform.&lt;br&gt;
No separate Jira instance. No sync overhead. Same auth, same data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  AI Automation — HxNexus
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Runs on local Ollama — your data never leaves the server.&lt;br&gt;
Natural language case queries, AI-assisted routing (Scout AI),&lt;br&gt;
step suggestions, NLP prompt builder, and AI chat on the customer portal.&lt;br&gt;
Optionally backed by Anthropic Claude for higher-capability tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Observability — HxStream + HxAnalytics
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Real-time event streaming across every case, user, and connector.&lt;br&gt;
SLA breach tracking, process mining, agent performance dashboards.&lt;br&gt;
Full DML before-image logging. Tamper-proof audit log with 7-year retention.&lt;br&gt;
Health dashboard, structured logs, and metrics out of the box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  DevOps — HxDeploy
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CI/CD pipeline for promoting Velaris configuration across environments:&lt;br&gt;
dev &amp;gt; UAT &amp;gt; prod with governance gates and rollback.&lt;br&gt;
HxBranch: Git-like versioning for case types, forms, and connectors.&lt;br&gt;
HxMigrate: AI-assisted migration from legacy systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  System Administration
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Superadmin account with breach detection and auto-disable on suspicious activity.&lt;br&gt;
Route-level permissions per role. Session revocation. Credential rotation.&lt;br&gt;
Internal IP blocking. Security event webhook to Slack, PagerDuty, or SIEM.&lt;br&gt;
HxShield: real-time threat detection and security audit layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Knowledge Graph — HxGraph
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every case type, stage, step, form, field, module, and endpoint is a live node.&lt;br&gt;
Query in natural language, traverse structural + semantic edges, visualise in D3.js.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; POST http://localhost:8200/api/v1/graph/query &lt;span class="se"&gt;\&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s1"&gt;'{"question":"which modules depend on auth?"}'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Integrations — HxConnect
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stripe · DocuSign · Onfido (KYC) · Salesforce · Xero · Twilio · Slack · Docling OCR · S3/MinIO&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
All with HMAC webhook validation and AI-assisted connector configuration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Customer Portal
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Zero-login portal at &lt;code&gt;/portal/:slug&lt;/code&gt;. Case submission, status tracking,&lt;br&gt;
document upload, SLA countdown, AI chat, per-tenant branding.&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Requirements
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ubuntu 22.04+, Docker 24+, 8 GB RAM, 10 GB disk&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  License
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;BSL 1.1 → Apache 2.0 after 4 years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Free for internal use. Build and sell products on top of it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You cannot resell the platform itself as a competing SaaS.&lt;/p&gt;
