QuietWire Dev

QuietWire Dev is the open source identity of Dennis Ayotte. The focus is on building reliable, self-hosted tools for infrastructure management. No cloud dependencies, no telemetry, no licensing fees. Just tools that work and stay out of your way.

QuietKeep

Coming Soon

A lightweight, self-hosted infrastructure management dashboard. Monitor Linux patch levels and deploy updates across multiple hosts from a single console. Manage Docker Compose stacks, detect container image updates, and pull new versions with one click. Includes built-in threat intelligence via the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. All over SSH, no agents required.

Development Status: QuietKeep is in active development and approximately 60-70% complete toward a v1.0 release. Core features (scanning, patching, Docker management, threat intelligence, setup wizard, theme support, Help/FAQ) are built and running in production. Remaining work includes authentication, notifications, selective patching, and host grouping.

About the name: QuietWire Dev is a separate identity focused on open source tooling. The projects are built by the same person behind Ayotte Consulting, but the open source work stands on its own. This page exists so readers here know who is behind it.
