A complete app server in 2 minutes:
Dev · Test · Staging · Prod — no ops, no K8s, secure and sovereign
PostgreSQL · HTTPS · Web IDE · AI MCP · Sunray Zero Trust · Sovereign by design
Ubuntu LTS · Dedicated PostgreSQL · Automatic HTTPS · VS Code in-browser · systemd services.yml. Git repo cloned at provisioning. Zero ops configuration needed.
Four distinct qualifiers to separate your environments mechanically. The prod qualifier activates approval gates automatically — no convention to follow, it is enforced in code.
An AI agent drives all your environments: provisioning, deploy, exec, file I/O, journalctl, systemd control. Your assistant codes directly on the server, without a console.
Access to each environment protected by WebAuthn passkey (Sunray). Auto-generated config from Manganese. Secure access from any browser, no VPN, no IP to whitelist.
Portable templates, native pg_dump, standard services.yml. Reproduce an identical environment on any host — or on your own infra. Zero platform lock-in.
Hosted in France on bare-metal (OVH, Hetzner…) or on your own server. Zero US cloud dependency in the critical path. 8 sovereign S3 backends.
Dedicated database in each environment, credentials injected as env vars (PGHOST, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD…). pg_dump and restore are first-class — staging → prod promotion in minutes.
AWS, MinIO, OVH, Scaleway, Cloudflare R2, Infomaniak, Wasabi, Dell ECS. Per-bucket credentials. Change provider without touching your application code.
A Manganese molecule is a complete, autonomous application unit. It runs in an isolated LXC container on bare-metal, with its own compute resources, PostgreSQL database and S3 bucket.
Provisioned in 2 to 10 min from a Git repo. Each molecule contains:
What Manganese PaaS concretely changes
PostgreSQL, HTTPS, systemd, reverse proxy — all pre-configured. Connect to your server and start coding. No devops required to get started.
Dev, test, staging and prod live on the same platform, with the same template. What works in staging works in prod — same Ubuntu, same PostgreSQL, same env vars.
Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client can provision, deploy, read logs and fix issues on your servers. Without opening a terminal, without writing a script.
The prod qualifier activates approval gates on destructive operations. You stay in control without K8s infrastructure. For critical HA prod → ProdFleet HA.
Need more RAM or CPU? mgx_resize_server — no migration, no extended downtime. The environment restarts on the new plan.
Manganese, Sunray and IMQ are open-source and developed by the same team. Cross-component edge cases are resolved internally — no fragile integration between third-party SaaS.
Manganese PaaS in practice
Create a dev molecule, connect your repo, open VS Code in-browser. All the tooling (Postgres, HTTPS, systemd) is there. No local docker-compose to maintain, no ngrok tunnel.
Each developer has their own isolated dev environment. The staging environment is shared for validation. Promoting dev → staging → prod is done by changing the qualifier.
Start with XXS for the demo, scale to M for production. Same template, same platform, same deploy process. No migration between dev and prod environments.
Provision one molecule per client, with a staging qualifier for acceptance testing and prod for go-live. Deprovisioning at project end takes 30 seconds.
