Thymis Update: Extended Documentation, New Releases, and Thymis Cloud Availability

Announcements
1

Hello NixOS community,

Last year we announced Thymis, our open-source platform for managing NixOS systems and IoT fleets with a web-based dashboard. Since then, we’ve been busy improving both the software and the experience. I wanted to share an update on where things stand now:

What’s new since the initial release

  • Multiple new releases — with fixes and smaller features, e.g. improved logging, SSH access buttons, and various quality-of-life improvements.
  • Greatly extended documentation — now much more comprehensive and usable for getting started: https://thymis.io/docs.
  • Thymis Cloud — a hosted offering is now available:
    • :earth_africa: For businesses globally
    • :de: For private individuals in Germany

See plans at https://thymis.io/pricing.

Reminder: What is Thymis?

Thymis is a NixOS-based management solution aimed at simplifying deployment and lifecycle operations:

  • A web-based dashboard for managing configurations and provisioning images
  • Declarative fleet management (disk/SD-card images, device updates)
  • Extendable with your own modules and logic
  • Preserves NixOS advantages (atomic updates, rollbacks, reproducibility)

Who is it for?

  • System administrators who want reproducible fleets of machines
  • Developers using IoT/edge setups (Raspberry Pi, MiniPCs, etc.)
  • NixOS users looking for a graphical dashboard in their workflow

Next steps

We’re continuing to develop the open source core and Cloud service together. Feedback from pilot deployments has been valuable, and we’d be grateful for input from this community as well — whether it’s around usability, scaling challenges, or desired features.

If you’d like to try it out:

Thanks again for all the encouragement and constructive criticism on the last post. Happy to answer questions, and always open to feedback.

In addition to the new releases and Cloud availability I shared above, we just launched Thymis Cloud today on Product Hunt :rocket:

:point_right: Thymis (Open Source + Cloud): Declarative IoT fleet management with NixOS | Product Hunt

For anyone in the NixOS community who’d like to support us, even a quick visit, upvote, or comment there would be hugely appreciated :pray: — it helps bring more visibility to NixOS in the IoT / fleet management space, which is something we’d love to see grow.

As always, feedback here on Discourse is just as valuable (and often more detailed!), but if you’d like to help amplify the launch outside the community, Product Hunt is a great place for that.

Thanks again for all the ideas and encouragement — this wouldn’t be moving forward without all of you.
