SOLARSPEED.NET - Aventurine and BlueOnyx Server Appliances
Production Infrastructure for Hosting Providers
SOLARSPEED.NET builds, secures, and operates production-grade Linux hosting infrastructure. We specialize in BlueOnyx - and Incus-based platforms for providers and organizations who need their systems to remain stable, secure, and recoverable under real-world conditions.
Our work combines long-term platform engineering with hands-on operational experience — from virtualization and security hardening to migrations, recovery, and incident response.
What we do
-
Virtualization Platforms
Design and operation of Incus-based container and VM environments using Aventurin{e}, tightly integrated into BlueOnyx for lifecycle, snapshot, and recovery management. -
Security & Hardening
Platform-level security engineering including intrusion detection, abuse prevention, mail and network protection, and hardened defaults. This includes the BlueOnyx Rampart security stack. -
Migration & Recovery
Planned and emergency migrations from legacy systems (OpenVZ, custom VPS platforms, aging Linux nodes) to modern Incus-based infrastructure — including compromised or blacklisted servers. -
Operational Engineering
Performance tuning, capacity planning, platform audits, and reliability improvements for long-running hosting environments.
Security-first by design
Modern hosting infrastructure demands more than uptime. It requires layered security, visibility, and the ability to respond quickly when something goes wrong.
Every system we design or deploy is engineered with security at its core: from container isolation and network segmentation to automated response mechanisms and continuous updates.
- Incus container and VM isolation design
- Network and firewall hardening (nftables, segmentation, abuse mitigation)
- Web, Mail, DNS, and platform-level security controls
- Threat detection and response pipelines
Built on experience
SOLARSPEED.NET has been developing and operating server appliance software since 1998. We are the creators and maintainers of:
|
BlueOnyx is a Linux-based hosting and service platform that delivers a turnkey server appliance for web hosting and email. It provides a browser-based GUI for managing services, sites, and accounts (including email, FTP, and web hosting users). BlueOnyx is open source software, released under a Sun-modified BSD license. |
|
Aventurin{e} is an Incus-based virtualization control plane for running and managing containers, virtual machines, and OCI workloads — integrated into the BlueOnyx GUI. Run multiple Linux distributions side-by-side (and VMs and/or Docker OCI containers where needed), with lifecycle management, snapshots, and recovery workflows designed for real hosting operations. |
Our software and infrastructure has been used in production environments for nearly two decades, across multiple generations of Linux distributions and virtualization technologies.
We do not chase trends. We build systems that can be operated, maintained, and migrated forward across operating system generations over the long term.
Need help right now?
If you are dealing with spam outbreaks, compromises, failed migrations, blacklisting issues, or unstable virtualization nodes, we offer short, focused infrastructure engagements to get things under control.
No guesswork. No unnecessary rebuilds. Just pragmatic fixes based on experience.
We do not try to be everything for everyone. Our focus is hosting infrastructure that must stay online.
