Aegis
Self-hosted Envoy gateway with AI threat analysis, TLS automation, and a real-time security dashboard.
Aegis sits between the internet and your services. It controls Envoy Proxy via xDS, watches all traffic in real time, blocks malicious IPs automatically, manages TLS certificates, and lets you chat with your gateway through an AI assistant — all in a single Docker container.
Quick start
docker run -d \
--name aegis \
-p 8765:8765 \
-v aegis_data:/data \
-e ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeme \
axieyangb/aegis:latest
Open http://localhost:8765 — default login: admin / changeme
With Envoy (recommended)
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axieyangb/aegis/main/docker-compose.yml
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axieyangb/aegis/main/configs/starter.json
docker compose up -d
Features in Action
Live Traffic Dashboard
Real-time request feed, top-IP leaderboard, world traffic map, and live blocking activity — all in one view.
Owl AI Assistant
Ask your gateway anything in plain English. Owl analyses current traffic, surfaces threats, and recommends exactly what to tighten — no dashboards to dig through.
IP Intelligence
Every IP automatically profiled: geolocation, ASN, VPN/Tor detection, AbuseIPDB reputation score, and full request history. Click any IP to deep-dive, then ask Owl to triage it in context.
Gateway Control Plane
Full Envoy xDS control — live topology view, listeners, filter chains, clusters, and extensions. See exactly which clusters are in use and by how many chains. No YAML editing required.
TLS Certificate Automation
ACME auto-renewal via Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL, delivered straight to Envoy SDS. Stuck on HTTP-01 prerequisites? Ask Owl to walk you through it step by step.
AI Patrol Sweeps
Scheduled AI sweeps monitor your traffic around the clock. Threats get triaged automatically and pushed to your notification channels — Telegram, Discord, Slack, or webhook.
Mobile: Owl on the Go
Open the dashboard on your phone, ask Owl what happened in the last two hours, and watch it triage the threats, block the bad IPs, and confirm the blocks — all from a single chat.
