A free, self-hostable mini-cloud on your own hardware — an AWS-style platform for containers, VMs, databases, object storage, a data lake, and GPU inference, all driven by GitOps.

open-infra

A self-hosted cloud platform that runs entirely inside your own trust boundary. Declare intent in one infra.yaml, git push, and get an AWS-like managed surface — autoscaling HTTPS apps, managed databases, object storage and queues, plus VMs, serverless + GPU inference, an analytics lake, CDC pipelines, and Active Directory — GitOps-reconciled on hardware you control and built to a NIST 800-53 control framework: secure-by-default, least-privilege, fully audited.

# infra.yaml — you write intent, the platform produces infrastructure
apiVersion: openinfra.dev/v1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: my-api
spec:
  image: ghcr.io/me/my-api
  port: 8080
  scaling: { min: 1, max: 10, targetCPUPercent: 70 }
  domain: my-api.example
  database: { engine: postgres, name: myapidb }
  storage:  { buckets: [uploads] }
  queues:   [jobs]

git push → GitHub Action builds the image → GitOps controller reconciles the whole desired state (hosting, DB, storage, queues, DNS, TLS, autoscaling). The experience feels like AWS; the bill is $0.


Why

The guiding principle: the user writes intent, the platform produces infrastructure.

The Undervalued Score +

How much a project earns versus how much attention it actually gets. Above 50 means the work is outrunning its audience. Recomputed nightly from commit velocity, contributor effort, issue resolution, fork utility, release cadence, and project maturity — divided by a logarithmic reach factor.

score  = signal / reach

signal = 0.25·commit_velocity   // commits in last 90 days (cap 30)
       + 0.20·contributor_work  // unique authors × velocity (cap 100)
       + 0.20·issue_resolution  // closed ÷ total issues
       + 0.20·fork_ratio        // forks ÷ stars (proxy for real usage)
       + 0.10·release_cadence   // releases in 90 days (cap 3)
       + age_bonus              // +0 to +0.30 after 6 months
       + homepage_bonus         // +0.05 if homepage is set

reach  = log₁₀(stars + watchers + 10)
The Health Score +

Is the project alive and maintained right now? A 0–100 pulse recomputed nightly from commit recency, rhythm, how fast issues close, and how quickly PRs get merged.

health = 0.35·recency       // days since last commit (90d decay)
       + 0.25·cadence       // commit rhythm consistency
       + 0.20·issue_health  // closed ÷ total issues
       + 0.20·pr_health     // merged ÷ total PRs
Health bands +

The colour and label on every card come straight from the health score.

Healthy   80 – 100   active, responsive, regular releases
Stable    60 – 79    maintained, steady, no alarms
Quiet     40 – 59    slowing down — watch this one
At Risk    0 – 39    going dark · candidate for rescue
// Tags — what each label means +

Tags are independent behavioral signals computed nightly. A project can hold multiple at once. They drive the home page sections.

solo_builder      one person holds > 80% of commits (last 180d)
needs_contributors has open "help wanted" or "good first issue" labels
hidden_gem        < 100 stars · active in last 3 months · documented
legacy_hero       repo > 5 years old · committed this year
fork_magnet       forks/stars > 0.5 · used as template or dependency
release_machine   5+ releases in the last 90 days
under_pressure    > 10 open issues · ≤ 2 contributors · health ≥ 60
community_watch   watchers > stars · devs tracking before the public
community_hub     GitHub Discussions enabled · > 20 discussions
funded            maintainer has active funding channel
Why rank against stars at all? +

Stars are an outcome, not effort. A project with 8 stars and daily commits is doing more interesting work than one coasting on 8k. We measure the building, then divide by the attention already received — so the genuinely undervalued rise to the top.

// stars   = lagging indicator
// commits = leading indicator
// we rank by the leading one
