I’ve been working on Thymis, a platform for managing fleets of IoT and edge devices declaratively using NixOS. After a lot of iteration, the open source core is ready, and we’ve just launched Thymis Cloud, now available to businesses globally (and private individuals in Germany).
Problem: Managing IoT devices at scale is usually painful:
- Manual SSH into devices
- Configuration drift across fleets
- Risk of bricking devices during updates
Approach: Thymis applies infra‑as‑code principles (via NixOS) to embedded and edge systems:
- Declarative configs for reproducible fleets
- Over‑the‑air provisioning and updates
- Open source runtime + hosted SaaS
- Web-based Dashboard for better UX

This project grew out of my own frustration deploying Raspberry Pis and IoT devices in both hobbyist setups and production systems. I work as a systems engineer and built Thymis to bring reproducibility to this tricky domain.
I’d love feedback from HN — especially from anyone managing device fleets today. Does this solve real pain points, or are there features that would make it more useful?
Thanks for taking a look.
