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.
