Borealis is a remote management platform with a simple, visual automation layer, enabling you to leverage scripts, Ansible playbooks, and advanced nodegraph-based automation workflows. I originally created Borealis to work towards consolidating the core functionality of several standalone automation platforms in my homelab, such as TacticalRMM, Ansible AWX, SemaphoreUI, and a few others.

⚠️Security Note: Server/Client/API authentication mechanisms are not yet enabled. For your own safety, use Borealis in controlled environments only.

Features

• Device Inventory: OS, hardware, and status posted on connect and periodically.
• Remote Script Execution: Run PowerShell in CURRENT USER context or as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
• Jobs and Scheduling: Launch "Quick Jobs" instantly or create more advanced schedules.
• Visual Workflows: Drag‑and‑drop node canvas for combining steps, analysis, and logic.
• Playbooks: Run scripted procedures; ((Ansible playbook support is in progress)).
• Windows‑first. Linux server and agent deployment scripts are planned, as the core of Borealis is Python-based, it is already Linux-friendly; this just involves some housekeeping to bring the Linux experience to parity with Windows.
