Praxis manages Linux servers from one place you run yourself. Patch Debian and RHEL family hosts on a schedule or behind an approval, catch hosts that drift from their baseline, and tell real security updates from the rest. SSH access uses short-lived certificates instead of static keys, so patch runs and admin sessions land in the same audit trail, keyed to the same host and the same user. Free up to 15 hosts. No license key, no call home, works air-gapped.

Could you build this?
Partial Web dashboards and agent runners can be scaffolded, but implementing a secure, self-hosted Linux fleet management system with scheduled patching, baseline drift detection, and short-lived SSH certificate authority integration demands advanced systems programming and security infrastructure knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves a lightweight agent (written in Go/Rust) installed on target hosts that queries package managers (apt, dnf/yum) for security advisories and CVEs. The central server manages an internal SSH Certificate Authority (similar to HashiCorp Vault or Smallstep) that issues ephemeral signed certificates for audited sessions, alongside an engine that orchestrates zero-downtime rolling reboots and package state verification across heterogenous distros.
