I'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.

I had claude code use the src code that was recently leaked to build an interactive website that explores claude code. :)

This was first pass with no modifications. I might have to go back and forth but pretty dang cool if you care about the nitty gritty.

Want to thank everyone for taking the time to make comments here. I am using what was said to improve the code base.

Currently active in some refactors. If anyone wants to test ArtifactKeeper I recommend waiting for my 1.0.0.a2 release. Hopefully by the end of the weekend.

Thanks again!!!

There are 7 or 8 repositories now in this org. Feel free to take, use, or help imrove the code. MIT Open Source.

yea so technically some of the formats are aliased :)

https://artifactkeeper.com/docs/package-formats/ Check this, you should see around 35 then 9 alias's that map to the other ones.

That is interesting, I have a good idea about setting up some red team agents and blueteam agents with claude code and seeing if we can improve security by testing things. In the pen test world these AI tools have basically beat all humans breaking into systems with no AI assistance.

If you have anymore details I would love to hear from your experience and what you think would be useful to look at. I will make a ticket based on this concern. I really want to make this as secure as we can and have people poke and do the code reviews. :)

Or analyse the code base. I am using security agents to harden the code base and testing end to end testing based on that.

Adding some security agents in the loop is a great idea!

I really think my next step is a full on CLI/TUI :)

Basically I am using end points so automation can be done with just curl requests. But as a linux nerd I do enjoy my share of CLI/TUI's.

Thanks for the kind words! If you need any help please reach out. My contact info is on github and I am happy to support making this happen.

I think we are in a time where we can make amazing things happen. I always go back to my Star Trek shows. We can now ask a computer to make a program for us. That is what I have been dreaming of. Now we are not at that level and lots of thought and experience goes into helping guide claude code but it is sometimes sci-fi like. The code is more clean, more maintainable for even myself. Everytihng is always commented, complexity is reduced.

I think if you follow a few rules whenever making changes and using all the latest tools like linters, security checkers, end to end frameworks, and any other helpful tool you can really make stuff happen.

I am totally thinking about adding this so you can connect to an API or use self hosted models that run in a container if you have the resources!!!! You are spot on.

I did not take your original comment as critiscism. Feel free to follow the repository and see how long I can keep it alive :)

There is no exsiting option :) unless you know where one is at. Artifactory OSS is a joke, and no other product is out there. Trust me I hate reinvinting the wheel... I rather take a nice wheel and use it.

If you find an existing full blown artifactory alternative that is opensource let me know.

Great question and I think about this a lot. I chose MIT deliberately and I'll explain why.

My graduate research focused on common computer security misconceptions — one of the biggest being that open source is inherently insecure. The algorithms and systems we trust most are the ones open to public scrutiny. AES was selected through an open competition where every candidate was published for the world to attack. TLS, SHA-256, RSA — their security comes from transparency, not obscurity. I believe the same applies to software infrastructure.

Could a bigger player take this and run a competing service? Sure, MIT allows that. But I'd rather have the code out there being used, audited, and improved than restrict it to protect a business model I don't even have yet. If someone like AWS wraps this in a managed service, that honestly means I built something worth wrapping — and the open version still exists for anyone who wants to self-host.

I've thought about the Canonical model — paid support around a free product — and I might go there someday. But I don't have years of production use behind this yet. We all start somewhere. Right now I'd rather focus on making the software good and building a community around it than optimizing a license for a monetization strategy that doesn't exist.

AGPL is a valid choice and I respect projects that use it. But for me, MIT is a statement about what I actually care about — the code being out there for everyone.
