  • This is fantastic! I'd really love to see support for SCAP so it could be used to enforce DISA STIGs.

  • I compared several open-source coding agents side by side — might be useful context for this discussion: https://www.kunalganglani.com/blog/claude-code-alternatives-...

  • Is this a similar but more generic approach to cosmic sync[1] or more like a company deploys to many employees?

  • Very nice. Can you elaborate why you chose mTLS authentication vs. SSH as a mean to deploy the policies.

    Regarding the docs, the diagrams should really be replaced with something more familiar and readable such as Mermaid (currently it looks like a mixture of ad-hoc ASCII charts).

  • Can this be used to enforce “screen time” for laptops given to children, hopefully in a more effective way than the equivalent systems on iOS and Android?

  • How is configuration drift / policy enforcement handled if there's no polling interval? Like suppose a user changes a setting, does it revert back to the enforced setting, if so, when and how?

  • This is cool. I’m getting into this type of management for the first time after being in software development for a long time. What other open source or enterprise solutions is this potentially competing with? What made you write your own, as in, what you weren’t able to do or didn’t like about existing solutions?

  • This looks really close to what I need. I manage a few laptops for a non-profit. For now, it is all done by hand, since I haven't found a good solution for Linux and I will kill myself before using Windows and Intune again.

    I would love to see configurations for Linux Mint's Cinnamon. Is there a way to execute custom scripts? How does the user mapping work exactly? Could I create a user in Authentik with a laptop-permission and this would map to a Linux user account?

    Nonetheless, this is really great work so far, and if you keep it as nice and tidy as it currently looks, then you might make a nice niche for yourself. I can't wait to try it out.
