One service, end to end
Vellum serves repository pages and Git smart HTTP directly. There is no nginx-to-framework-to-plugin chain to assemble before the first clone.
client→Vellum→Git repository
Self-hosted Git infrastructure
Your source.
Your server.
Your rules.
Vellum is a repository browser and Git-over-HTTPS service built as one focused C binary. No framework tower. No separate web server. Just Git, access policy, and an interface people can actually use.
Built by Floof Logic. The private beta is for teams comfortable operating their own infrastructure.
Repository browser
Clone · fetch · push
Native authentication
Auditable access
The point
Git hosting should feel like infrastructure, not a lifestyle.
Vellum keeps the operational surface 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.
Operationally legible
Health checks, access records, bounded logs, certificate checks, and release rollback belong to the product—not an afterthought.
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. We are inviting a small number of technically adventurous teams to help shape the public release.
