Dimensigon (DM) is a distributed server management and orchestration platform designed for elastic service bootstrapping. Built with Python, it provides a powerful mesh networking solution for managing complex, heterogeneous infrastructures.
- Polyglot Orchestration - Technology-agnostic automation and orchestration
- Mesh Networking - Decentralized peer-to-peer communication
- IoT 2.0 - Advanced decentralization for IoT environments
- Distributed Server Management - High-complexity orchestrations across infrastructure
- Full RESTful API - Easily embeddable and integrable
- Distributed Vault - Secure configuration and secrets management
- Log Federation - Centralized logging across all nodes
- Double Encryption - SSL/TLS + message-level encryption by default
- Granular ACLs - Fine-grained access control on top of OS security
Dimensigon serves as a coordination layer for all automation technologies, making it an ideal standard for companies managing complex environments:
- Lower administrative costs
- Simplified management of hybrid multi-cloud infrastructures
- Unified interface for heterogeneous systems
- No vendor lock-in
Dimensigon is REAL Open Source - No Freemium or Enterprise versions will ever be available. This is a commitment to true open source values.

# Install from source
git clone https://github.com/dimensigon/dimensigon.git
cd dimensigon
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
# Or install from PyPI (when available)
pip install dimensigonDimensigon uses a "dimension" concept - think of it as your management realm where all servers coordinate.
# Create a new dimension (your management cluster)
dimensigon new my-cluster
# You'll be prompted for a root password:
Password for root user: ********
Re-type same password: ********
# Output:
# New dimension created successfully
#
# ----- JOIN TOKEN (valid for 30 minutes) -----
# eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...
# ---------------- END TOKEN --------------------What just happened?
- Created a dimension named "my-cluster"
- Generated RSA keys and SSL certificates
- Set up root user credentials
- Generated a JOIN token (save this if you want to add more servers!)
# Start the server
dimensigon start
# Server will start on port 20194 (default)
# Press Ctrl+C to stop when neededOpen your browser to:
- Dashboard: https://localhost:20194/dm-webmanager/dashboard
- Admin Panel: https://localhost:20194/admin
- API v2.0: https://localhost:20194/api/v2/
Default Credentials:
- Username:
root - Password: (the one you set in Step 1)
Note: You'll see an SSL certificate warning - this is expected for development. Click "Advanced" → "Proceed" to continue.
# On Server 1 (the one you just created), generate a token:
dimensigon token my-cluster
# Copy the token, then on Server 2:
dimensigon join 192.168.1.100 <paste-token-here> --port 20194
# Your cluster now has 2 servers working together!- Complete Tutorial: Getting Started Guide - Hands-on beginner tutorial
