No web-server stack
Vellum is the server: repository pages and Git smart HTTP come directly from the same native service. No nginx-to-framework-to-plugin chain to install, configure, patch, and debug.

Your own GitHub · one native service
Your own GitHub.
No separate
web server.
Vellum is the server: one focused C binary serves the repository browser and Git smart HTTP directly. Script-assisted installation and upgrades keep the operational surface small, while clone, fetch, push, and access control stay familiar.
Built by Floof Logic for teams that want to own their source without adopting another platform to operate.
No separate web server
One native service
Script-assisted install
Low overhead
The point
The useful parts of GitHub. Almost none of the stack.
Vellum keeps installation, operation, and maintenance deliberate: one service owns the browser, Git protocol, TLS boundary, and authorization decisions.
Real identities
Use system-native PAM authentication and group membership instead of inventing another island of passwords.
Repository policy
Grant read or write access per repository, preserve global administration, and keep ungranted projects out of view.
Low-overhead by design
Script-assisted installs and release upgrades, health checks, bounded logs, certificate checks, and rollback keep routine operation predictable.
Own the boundary
Terminate TLS with Vellum and keep source, credentials, and authorization decisions on infrastructure you control.
The interface
Useful at a glance.
Detailed on demand.
Browse trees, inspect source, review recent changes, copy the correct clone URL, and manage access without turning Git administration into its own project.
Repository browser
Inside the request
Fewer moving pieces. Clearer responsibility.
A Vellum request crosses a short, inspectable path. Each layer has one job and one owner.
-
01
Authenticate
The operating system verifies the user through PAM. Vellum never needs a parallel password database.
-
02
Authorize
Global and per-repository policy determine what the user can see, fetch, or change.
-
03
Serve
The native browser renders source and history, or Git smart HTTP handles clone, fetch, and push.
-
04
Record
Security-relevant activity lands in structured, rotating access logs built for human review.
Private beta
Bring a server.
Keep your source.
Vellum is running real Floof Logic repositories today on modest hardware. We are inviting a small number of technically adventurous teams to help shape the public release.
