miren.dev

Thank god it's friday 🫠

The entirety of provenance v2 and the provisio cloud service has been built managing agents in the Freeq IRC by @chadfowler.com running using herdr in boxd.sh VMs and deployed on miren.dev . Just updated the CI for the repos to publish the provenance records on AT Proto on merges to main

I've been working on a self-hosted uptime checker in Elixir to help dogfood Miren's support. I'm interested in having the probe be very detailed about timings across the network stack, with extra checks that run on failure to try and distinguish network path blips from real failures.

Miren Cloud accounts got a lot smarter this week! - Our login screen remembers which accounts you've used - You can be signed into more than one account and switch between them - You can merge accounts together

Keeping everything up to date can be such a chore! Let us take that off your plate. 🍽️🤏 Soon, Miren Cloud will be able to manage your cluster upgrades for you. ☁️🤌⏫

0.15.1 out with a hot fix to plug a memory leak in 0.15. It can cause the host system to become unresponsive, so please be sure to update if you're on 0.15. Thanks and now back to the show!

Miren 0.15 out today! In addition to a number of bug fixes, this one has some nice features such as `miren top` and better support for booting your app off an image outside of Miren. Enjoy keeping an eye on those node/app/sandbox resources and we'll see you out there! miren.md/changelog#v0...

Miren Runtime v0.14.0 is out 🚀 First Class Secrets: store app credentials with miren secret, reference them from app.toml. Encrypted, and never in your config, logs, or image layers. Plus App Tasks, a SQLite addon, and more: miren.dev/blog/v0-14-r...

DEEP TECH AHEAD: How we took inspiration from Cap'n'Proto and built an RPC system that works for us, instead of us working for it. miren.dev/blog/rpc-tha...

Even just chatting with @mitchellh.com about Miren and tech reminded me how fun it was when we worked together! And we got his next.js powered blog deployed! miren.md/guides/javas... Full video: youtu.be/04lpAzu0Fqk

I love the patterns that Miren Anywhere unlocks. Come watch @tenderlove.dev setup a cluster under his desk! Full video: youtu.be/YDJyz22tLLk

Miren v0.13 is out: your cluster can finally be more than one machine. Mint a token, run `miren runner install`, and stateless workloads spread across every box you point at it. Encrypted WireGuard mesh between them. miren.dev/blog/distrib...

Join Evan and Nate as they deploy rubygems.org on Miren, tuning it along the way. They get into consulting in 2026, the heat in Tokyo, the difference between vcpus and cpus, and so much more. youtu.be/KLzD5xUQ2p4

We love @pagedout.bsky.social! It's a free zine about programming, security, and hacker culture, and every article has to fit on a single page. Exactly our kind of thing, so we sponsored issue #9. Also, @phinze.com wrote page 27: "Go Get a Garden Server" 🌱 Free PDF at pagedout.institute

Miren v0.12.0 ships Miren Anywhere: your cluster dials out, Miren's edge carries traffic back, and my-chores.miren.app can be served straight off a laptop in the kitchen 👩‍🍳💻 The "deploy works but the URL times out" wall, gone 🔄✨ miren.dev/blog/miren-a...

Nothing says self-hosted like running your own social media data, so we set out to run a Bluesky PDS on our own systems using Miren! (hi @mirener.miren.team !) miren.dev/blog/bluesky...

Loved chatting, building, and deploying with @thorstenball.com and Quinn Slack of Amp. The tools have gotten so good and love how we're let people get their ideas out there! Full video at youtu.be/A3yuLVkNxWM?...

Excited to hear our @evanphx.dev chat with Brian Teller about his path to CEO and why good deployment is so important for teams of every size. Give it a listen here (or wherever you like to hear your podcasts: www.tellerstech.com/ship-it-week...

You draw a little guy on your phone, a pig in a hat, and seconds later it poofs onto a giant screen full of strangers' creatures. That's PIGCon Plaza, built on Miren for zero dollars by @burlaprobot.bsky.social and the @pigsquad.com crew. 1,300 people came through. miren.dev/blog/drawing...

tired: a static AWS key in your env vars that works for anyone who finds it 👀 wired: every app gets a short-lived identity and proves who it is to AWS, no key stored 🥷 new in Miren 0.10 → miren.dev/blog/workloa...

"Just use Postgres for everything" is great advice. We didn't take it. 😎 We're self-hosted, so every migration we ship, our users run across a whole fleet. Smeared SQL schemas? No thanks! Miren keeps its state as datoms on etcd. A new field? Just a new field. The story: miren.dev/blog/datoms-...

Also in v0.10: workload identity tokens (OIDC JWTs issued per-sandbox for service-to-service auth), log coalescing in miren logs -f, and automatic IP cleanup on service deletion. Full changelog: miren.md/changelog
