Keenrig: the self-hosting switchboard

keenrig.com Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Keenrig installs open-source apps on a VPS and provisions their databases, domains, TLS certificates, single sign-on, and backups.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

Keenrig’s installation path begins on a blank VPS, where a shell command sets up a gateway, control process, and local admin UI before any domain is configured. The page identifies Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 as supported versions and describes catalog entries as Ed25519-signed manifests pinned to image digests. Cloud pairing is presented as optional: it can add ready-made domains, managed backups, and cloud AI, while the instance remains the stated source of truth.
