Unified Server and Application Management Platform
KRATE transforms a standard Debian server into a fully managed ecosystem for media and automation stacks—including Jellyfin, the *arr suite, download clients, and associated services.
Engineered for simplicity and scale, KRATE provides everything required to operate your infrastructure from a single, cohesive environment. Administrate your system via zen, a highly responsive Command-Line Interface (CLI), or utilize HarmonyUI for comprehensive control through an intuitive web dashboard. Seamlessly manage applications, system services, user access, storage arrays, and updates without the overhead of maintaining disparate management tools.
Deploy Once. Manage Centrally.
Official KRATE distributions are exclusively published via runkrate/krate. All other organizational repositories contain source code, application catalogs, build infrastructure, and extensions; they do not serve as alternative installation endpoints.
