Keep your technical operations under control — whether you're technical or not

LaraDep is an application for managing servers and technical infrastructure — specifically cloud servers and VPS, dedicated servers, virtual machines, internal company servers, but also Raspberry Pi, NAS devices or test machines. Essentially anything you can connect to via SSH. It helps companies, institutions and teams better organize the management of these devices, technical environments and recurring operational tasks. Everything is in one place, clearly divided into workspaces, with a history of changes, access rights and a clear procedure for common operations.

Simply put: LaraDep helps bring order to what today is often handled through various notes, private guides, chat messages and the classic "only Pete knows how this works".

It's suited for owners of smaller companies, agencies, schools, smaller institutions, operational teams and project managers who need oversight of technical operations without having to program — but equally for programmers and DevOps engineers who want Ansible under control without manually managing files.

What problem does LaraDep solve

In many companies and organizations, technical operations look like this:

important information is stored in multiple places,

only a few people know the access credentials and procedures,

new environments are set up slightly differently each time,

when something goes wrong, it's hard to find out what, when and who did it,

handing over work between people is slow and uncertain,

management has no clear overview of what is actually under control and what is not.

This leads to stress, confusion and unnecessary dependence on individuals.

LaraDep is not just a registry or documentation. It's a practical operational system that helps move technical infrastructure from improvisation into a more organized and repeatable mode.

Export an exact snapshot for audit or handover

Export a complete configuration snapshot of exactly what a run would use — a downloadable encrypted ZIP. Ideal for a security audit, handing over to a consultant, or archiving your own operational state.

A clear error description, not a raw log dump

When a run fails, the system identifies the error type and explains the probable cause in plain language. You get concrete remediation steps, not 300 lines of Ansible output to sift through guessing.

Separate workspace for every client or environment

Every client, team, or environment has its own workspace with separate configuration, servers, and audit history. Accidentally hitting the wrong deployment target becomes practically impossible even when multiple operators share the system.

What LaraDep brings in everyday operations

One system instead of chaos

Instead of five different places for guides, access credentials, configurations and procedures, you have one environment that brings order to technical operations.

Workspaces for different clients, projects or teams

Each client, project or department can have its own separate space. This makes it easier to track who belongs where and who can see what.

Clear roles and permissions

Not everyone needs access to everything. LaraDep allows you to distinguish who can only view, who can edit and who can manage the entire system.

Templates instead of starting from scratch

When similar situations repeat, there's no need to configure everything from scratch each time. LaraDep works with templates and prepared foundations.

Procedures that can be repeated

What is set up correctly once can be used by the team again. This reduces dependence on a single person and increases confidence that important tasks are always done the same way.

History and traceability

When something changes or is executed, LaraDep keeps a record. This makes it possible to find out what happened, when it happened, who did it and what the result was.

Safer handling of sensitive data

Access credentials and other sensitive information don't belong in chat, email or random notes. LaraDep helps keep them under greater control.

Better collaboration between technical and non-technical people

LaraDep gives technical topics a more comprehensible framework. A non-technical person doesn't need to understand the background details to grasp what is ready, what is waiting for action and where there might be a problem.

LaraDep is not just an overview panel. It's a combination of workspace management, technical inventory, repeatable procedures, security rules, history and an integration layer.

What can LaraDep be used for

LaraDep is generally suited for anything you can securely connect to via SSH and where a team needs to maintain order in technical procedures, access credentials, workspaces and recurring actions.

01

Clients, projects and multiple environments

Where multiple clients, projects or environments need to be separated into individual workspaces and an overview of who has access where needs to be maintained.

02

Handover and standardization

Where environments need to be handed over between people while maintaining a consistent way of working — handovers, onboarding new people, standardizing across clients.

03

Devices and infrastructure accessible via SSH

Not just web servers — also internal workstations, school servers, laboratories, Raspberry Pi, kiosks, NAS, build machines and test servers.

04

Operations, maintenance and security

Where operational, maintenance or security steps need to be repeatedly performed — backups, updates, access management, migrations, control procedures.

05

Training, demos and test scenarios

For preparing environments that need to be created repeatedly and according to the same pattern — demo and workshop environments, training scenarios, laboratories.

Managed vs. self-hosted

LaraDep is designed for two ways of use.

For teams without DevOps

Managed

Suited for teams and organizations that don't want to deal with the details of DevOps and Ansible. More things are pre-prepared and controlled, users work mainly through forms, templates and prepared workflows. The system monitors more closely what can and cannot be changed, reducing the risk of accidentally breaking environment structure.

  • Formuláře a šablony
  • Vedený onboarding
  • Omezené přímé editace
  • Nižší nároky na znalosti
For experienced teams

Self-hosted

Designed for teams that want greater freedom and more detailed control. Allows more direct editing and custom modifications, greater control over structure and configuration, and more room for advanced internal workflows.

  • Přímá editace Ansible
  • Vlastní konfigurace
  • Plná kontrola nad strukturou
  • Multi-tenant izolace

Who gets the most value from LaraDep

Agencies

Helps separate individual clients, maintain order in access credentials and standardize recurring work.

Smaller companies without a large internal IT department

Helps bring technical operations into a more organized form without a complex proprietary platform.

Schools and educational organizations

Helps unify the management of classrooms, school servers, laboratory equipment and other systems managed remotely.

Smaller institutions and organizations

Suits situations where there is no large internal IT team, but technical operations still need to be organized and less dependent on individuals.

Growing companies

As a company grows, so does the number of environments, projects and people. LaraDep helps manage this growth without chaos.

What value does it bring for a non-programmer

If you're not a developer or server administrator, LaraDep can help you mainly in these areas:

you'll gain better oversight of technical operations,
you'll reduce your team's or organization's dependence on individuals,
you'll make work handovers easier,
you'll establish clearer rules for who can do what,
you'll have a history and greater control over what happens in the system,
you'll improve communication between the business, project and technical parts of the team.

It's therefore not just a technical tool. It's also a tool for better organization, predictability and peace of mind in operations.

What value does it bring for a programmer or DevOps

If you work in Ansible or DevOps, LaraDep brings different but equally important value. All Ansible configuration — playbooks, roles, host_vars, group_vars, variables, file templates — lives in the database, not in files on disk. Before each run, the runtime is exported to a temporary directory, ansible-playbook is run against it and the result is recorded. Full audit trail, reproducible environment.

If you know Ansible and want it under control without manually managing files, with multi-tenant isolation, encrypted access, an API and an audit log — LaraDep handles it all in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we receive most often about working together.

How It Works

How LaraDep runs playbooks, what it checks before execution and how saved presets work.

The run is blocked and the system displays a concrete description of the problem — what is missing and where. You fix the problem and try again. If it is a warning rather than a blocking error (for example a missing optional integration), you have the option to confirm the run anyway and continue.
On the playbook page click "Export runtime" — the system walks you through the same wizard as for execution, but the output is a downloadable ZIP file. It contains everything the system would use when running: server list, configuration, settings and credentials in encrypted form. The ZIP is automatically deleted after download.
A preset is a saved configuration for a recurring task — you select a playbook, target server or server group and run parameters. Next time you just click the preset and run, without having to configure everything again. You create a preset directly while going through the run wizard — you check "Save as preset" and name it. The default preset can be run with one click directly from the playbook overview.

Security & Access

How passwords are stored and protected, what the AI assistant sees and how access management works.

All passwords and tokens are stored encrypted in the database — never as plain text. When a playbook runs they are used internally, but their values do not appear in any log or output — the system masks them automatically. They are never sent via unsecured channels.
No. The AI assistant only sees information about which passwords and tokens exist in the system and when they were last changed — but never their actual values. This protection is hard-coded in the system, not just a configurable option. AI integration is always in read mode — it cannot run, change or delete anything.
Log into the administration, find the relevant record and update the value. The system automatically records the date and time of the change. The next playbook run will use the new value. The audit record captures who made the change and when — for your internal overview and in case of an external audit.

Getting Started

How to start LaraDep, how to connect an AI assistant and what types of environments LaraDep supports.

Download the Docker package and run the included start script — on macOS and Linux that is <code>./start.sh</code>, on Windows <code>start.bat</code>. Everything else happens automatically: configuration is set up, database tables are created and populated with sample data. The whole process takes just a few minutes and requires no prior knowledge of PHP, databases or servers.
In LaraDep settings you will find the MCP address for connection. Enter this address in your AI tool settings as an MCP server. For local testing use the HTTP address — not HTTPS. A detailed guide is available in the help section after logging in.
LaraDep comes with ready-made templates for the most common web environments — various combinations of database systems, web servers and supporting services. All templates are designed for production deployment. Need a specific combination or have questions about your specific environment? Let us arrange a demo — we will go through it together.
