If you don't own the stack, you are part of someone else's system.
intrane is a workshop for infrastructure that belongs to
the people running it. Open source, self-hostable, built to outlast the
company that made it — a language, the rails an agent needs, databases,
and tools for real places.

Why
Robustness, not maximum performance.
We live in a world that fluctuates. The living world doesn't optimise — it
relies on diversity, cooperation, redundancy, margins of safety and adaptation.
What looks inefficient in the short term is what makes it last. Infrastructure
deserves the same logic.
AI is a tool I use, not the goal. The goal is ownership and autonomy:
self-hosted, portable data, inspectable code. When your intelligence and your
compute run through someone else's API, you are building on rented land. A
stack under your control is a stack that cannot control you.
So none of what follows is a platform you join. It is a set of parts you can
take, run yourself, read the source of, and keep running after I am gone.
The map
One project, in parts.
Everything below is
public source and self-hostable. Live means
there is a hosted instance you can use today without installing anything.
Own your execution
The machine runs what you told it to, on hardware you chose.
machin
An agent-native compiled language. No type annotations, one function per line, native binaries through C.
Source
roam
Leave an autonomous agent working on a remote box — budgets, sandbox, gated shell, approvals from your phone.
LiveSource
remotecmd
Run a command on any machine you own. WebSocket relay, token auth, JSON out.
LiveSource
machin-terminal
A terminal emulator in pure machin. Hosts vim, htop, tmux.
Source
Own your data
Your records are a file you can copy, read and carry away.
grange
A document database built for agents. Crash-safe, cold storage, an export endpoint that gives you everything.
LiveSource
bkn
A backend core in one binary — store, auth, files, events, cron, hooks — over embedded SQLite.
Source
greffe
An append-only signed register for associations and cooperatives. No money, no mining; a node idles at 5 MB.
LiveSource
vault
Backups you can verify and restore without the tool that wrote them.
Source
blurd
Face and plate redaction as a self-hosted API. The original image is never stored — only the redacted bytes.
LiveSource
Own your rails
The plumbing an autonomous program needs — payment, identity,
an address, a place to publish — without renting it from a platform.
péage
Fiat pay-per-call. Agents hold prepaid wallets; any API charges them with one HTTP call. Public solvency proof.
LiveSource
relais
An inbox an agent can block on. Catches OAuth callbacks, webhooks and approvals for programs with no public URL.
LiveSource
portier
SSO in one redirect. Login-with-anything without implementing OAuth, priced per auth rather than per seat.
LiveSource
machin-idp
OIDC identity for humans and agents. Humans join by invitation; agents are minted over an API and sign in with no browser.
LiveSource
hart
Any terminal agent publishes self-contained HTML and gets a live, versioned, sandboxed URL. Artifacts, unbundled and owned.
LiveSource
vigie
Cookieless web analytics with no dashboard to log into — the numbers come to you as artifacts.
LiveSource
Own your tools
Small, sharp, single-purpose. Adoptable in an afternoon and
removable in ten minutes.
CLI specs
Open specs that make any command-line tool legible to an agent: output contract, guide, feedback, self-update.
LiveSource
machin-secure
A deterministic security auditor with no model inside it — it emits findings, your agent does the judging.
Source
machin-rag
Local retrieval in one binary. No keys to bring, nothing leaves the machine.
Source
machin-web-ui
A component library and a Tailwind engine with no Node in the build.
Source
For real places
The point of all of it. Infrastructure serving people in a
particular valley, association or workshop — not users in an addressable market.
creneau
Machine booking for fablabs and makerspaces. The laser, the CNC, the printers — one board, never double-booked.
LiveSource
matériauthèque
A shared materials library for the Cœur des Bauges, running on a register the commune can audit.
Live
registre
The public, verifiable record of that commune's chain — readable by anyone from genesis.
Live
comptoir
A billing spine where each small product is a configuration row rather than another repository.
Live
Principles
The rules I actually apply.
Commons over platformsOpen source, not walled gardens.
Cooperation over dependencyTeach several people rather than be the one expert who holds it all.
Diversity over uniformityStandard formats, interoperable systems, no lock-in.
Margins over optimisationLeave room for the unexpected instead of chasing the last percent.
Durability over noveltyA thing that lasts ten years beats one that ships fast and breaks on update.
Territory over cloudLocal, anchored, serving real people in real places.
How this is paid for
You pay for convenience. Never for access.
Every tool above is public source and self-hostable. If you want to run it
on your own machine, that costs nothing and always will — and if I stop, you
keep running it.
Some of them also have a hosted instance I maintain, and those cost money.
That is the whole business model: the hosted version saves you an afternoon and
a server. It never unlocks a capability the source withholds, because a stack
you can be cut off from is not a stack you own.
No seat licences. No enterprise tier. No feature held hostage. Take the
source and leave whenever it suits you.
Who
Javier Leandro Arancibia
I build infrastructure for the commons from Savoie, in the French Alps.
I am a technical person who would rather craft the thing than sell it, which
is why this page has no contact form and no call to book.
If something here is useful, take it. If it breaks, the issue tracker is
open. If you want to talk about putting one of these to work somewhere real,
write to me — I read everything, and I answer when I have something worth saying.
