AerieLive DemoEverything your IT team knows, finally in one place.
Fixes hide in old email threads, chat history, sticky notes and the heads of people who left years ago. Aerie gathers them into one knowledge base, filed by team, versioned and searchable, on a server you own.
Each team gets its own space
Infrastructure, network, identity, security: every team files its runbooks in its own space, with its own folder tree. Other teams don't see that space until someone gives them a role in it.
Roles go to people directly or to local groups. An Admin creates spaces and their Owners; Owners run the rest of their space's membership. Custom roles are in progress.
| Reader | Reads the pages in the space. |
|---|---|
| Contributor | Writes pages, and moves or deletes their own work. |
| Supervisor | Moves and deletes anyone's pages in the space. |
| Owner | Decides who else gets in, and at which role. |
- A real editor
- Code blocks, tables, images and attachments, the things runbooks are made of.
- Every version kept
- See what changed between any two versions, and restore an old one.
- Drafts
- Work on a page until it's right, then publish it.
- Search that forgives typos
- Find the spooler fix even when you type "spoolr".
- Export
- Pages to PDF or Word; tables to CSV or Excel.
- Tags
- Tag pages by server, app or topic, across folders.
Locked down by default
Runbooks hold server names, recovery steps and who to call. Aerie treats them that way, and you can check each control yourself.
- Sensitive spacesMark a space sensitive and it's closed to Admins too. An Admin who needs in uses emergency access, which is logged, and the space's Owners are told.
- A tamper-evident audit logEach entry is hash-chained to the one before it, so an edited or deleted entry breaks the chain. Ship the log to your SIEM.
- Scoped API tokensTokens carry only the permissions you give them, and they expire.
- Sign-inSigning out ends every session for that account. One-time codes from an authenticator app are in progress.

Runs on your server
No cloud service sits behind Aerie. Your pages stay on hardware you control, and it's free to self-host.
An install guide comes with the first release. Until then, the live demo runs the current build.
Windows Server
- Runs under IIS
- SQL Server database
Docker
- One container image
- A single SQLite file, or SQL Server
Where it's headed
Aerie is in development. Here's what works today, what's being built, and what's planned.
Works today
- Team spaces with roles and local groups
- Sensitive spaces and emergency access
- Version history, drafts, recycle bin
- Search, tags, PDF and Word export
- Audit log with SIEM shipping
- Plugins with their own screens and data
In progress
- One-time sign-in codes
- Spaces visible to anyone you choose
- Custom roles
Planned
- AI import. Drop in one Word document or a hundred, and get documentation pages built from them.
- AI help keeping pages current: document management, review of aging pages, and smarter search.
- Application inventory. Which applications and versions run on which servers, tracked next to the runbooks.
See it with real pages
The demo has four IT team spaces and about 230 pages, running the current build.
