What is Bor?

Bor is an open source system for managing Linux desktop configuration across a fleet of machines. It replaces ad-hoc scripts and manual setup with a central server that streams policies to lightweight agents on each workstation - in real time, with full audit logging.

Built by vute.tech as part of our small & medium business stack, Bor is the engine behind our Managed Workstations service.

  • Real-time delivery

    Policies reach every enrolled machine the moment they are published, over persistent gRPC streams with delta sync to minimize bandwidth.

  • Secure by default

    Mutual TLS between server and agents, one-time enrollment tokens, an auto-generated internal CA and a tamper-evident audit log.

  • Linux-native

    Supports Firefox, Chrome, KDE (KConfig), dconf, polkit and more, with native packages for all major distributions.
