Hello from the people behind Anveesa
Why we started a blog, what we build, and what you can expect to read here.
Article
Welcome to the Anveesa blog. Until now the only way to follow what we were doing was to read commit messages and release notes. That works if you already live in our repositories, but most people who run our tools don't, and they shouldn't have to. So this is where we'll write things down in plain words: what changed, why we changed it, and how you can get the most out of it. What Anveesa is Anveesa is a small family of tools for the infrastructure you already own. Each one installs and runs on its own, on your machine or your server, and none of them needs an account with us. - Vestra puts every storage bucket in one calm interface: GCS, S3, R2, MinIO, Azure Blob and more, as a desktop app or on your own server. - Nias takes you from a SQL query to a dashboard your team can export, share or embed. - Aras reviews every database change and keeps a trail of who ran what. - Mikko is a SOC platform that sits on top of Wazuh for hunting, correlation and response. - Anveesa CLI gives you one command for every AI model, right in your terminal. - Workflow is a free infinite canvas for drawing flows with your team. Vestra, Nias, the CLI and Workflow are open source. Aras and Mikko are licensed to teams. Why self-hosted Your databases, buckets and logs are some of the most sensitive things you have. We think the tools that touch them should run where they live, keep credentials on your side, and keep working when someone else's service has a bad day. That choice shapes everything we build: 1. One binary or one container. If installing a tool takes an afternoon, it won't get installed. 2. Your data stays put. Credentials are encrypted at rest and never leave your machine. 3. Calm by default. Show what needs you, and keep everything else one click away. What you'll read here We'll keep posts practical. Expect things like: - Release notes with the story behind them, not just a changelog. - Short guides, such as connecting Vestra to a private MinIO server or sharing a Nias dashboard safely. - Notes on how we build: the trade-offs, the mistakes and what we learned from them. If you want to try something today, the quickest start is one command: Then open http://localhost and create your owner account. Say hello If there's something you'd like us to write about, or a tool you wish worked differently, send us an email or open an issue on GitHub. We read everything. Thanks for being here.
