I&#x27;m a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it&#x27;s all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices.Your package managers — pip, npm, docker, cargo, helm, go, all of them — talk directly to it using their native protocols. Security scanning with Trivy, Grype, and OpenSCAP is built in, with a policy engine that can quarantine bad artifacts before they hit your builds. And if you need a format it doesn&#x27;t support yet, there&#x27;s a WASM plugin system so you can add your own without forking the backend.Why I built it:Part of what pulled me into computers in the first place was open source. I grew up poor in New Orleans, and the only hardware I had access to in the early 2000s were some Compaq Pentium IIs my dad brought home after his work was tossing them out. I put Linux on them, and it ran circles around Windows 2000 and Millennium on that low-end hardware. That experience taught me that the best software is software that&#x27;s open for everyone to see, use, and that actually runs well on whatever you&#x27;ve got.Fast forward to today, and I see the same pattern everywhere: GitLab, JFrog, Harbor, and others ship a limited &quot;community&quot; edition and then hide the features teams actually need behind some paywall. I get it — paychecks have to come from somewhere. But I wanted to prove that a fully-featured artifact registry could exist as genuinely open-source software. Every feature. No exceptions.The specific features came from real pain points. Artifactory&#x27;s search is painfully slow — that&#x27;s why I integrated Meilisearch. Security scanning that doesn&#x27;t require a separate enterprise license was another big one. And I wanted replication that didn&#x27;t need a central coordinator — so I built a peer mesh where any node can replicate to any other node. I haven&#x27;t deployed this at work yet — right now I&#x27;m running it at home for my personal projects — but I&#x27;d love to see it tested at scale, and that&#x27;s a big part of why I&#x27;m sharing it here.The AI story (I&#x27;m going to be honest about this):I built this in about three weeks using Claude Code. I know a lot of you will say this is probably vibe coding garbage — but if that&#x27;s the case, it&#x27;s an impressive pile of vibe coding garbage. Go look at the codebase. The backend is ~80% Rust with 429 unit tests, 33 PostgreSQL migrations, a layered architecture, and a full CI&#x2F;CD pipeline with E2E tests, stress testing, and failure injection.AI didn&#x27;t make the design decisions for me. I still had to design the WASM plugin system, figure out how the scanning engines complement each other, and architect the mesh replication. Years of domain knowledge drove the design — AI just let me build it way faster. I&#x27;m floored at what these tools make possible for a tinkerer and security nerd like me.Tech stack: Rust on Axum, PostgreSQL 16, Meilisearch, Trivy + Grype + OpenSCAP, Wasmtime WASM plugins (hot-reloadable), mesh replication with chunked transfers. Frontend is Next.js 15 plus native Swift (iOS&#x2F;macOS) and Kotlin (Android) apps.
