Support the BlueOnyx Project

BlueOnyx is a long-standing open-source server management platform used by hosting providers, businesses and infrastructure operators worldwide. BlueOnyx update servers received over 2.4 million requests in 2025, demonstrating the large global installed base of the platform.

Originally derived from the Cobalt and BlueQuartz server platforms, BlueOnyx continues to evolve as a modern and secure environment for managing Linux servers and hosting infrastructure.

Help sustain the platform your infrastructure depends on

Today, thousands of servers around the world rely on BlueOnyx for critical services such as web hosting, email delivery, databases and application platforms.

Maintaining and improving such a platform requires continuous effort: security updates, compatibility fixes, modernization of components and development of new features.

If your infrastructure or business depends on BlueOnyx, please consider supporting the continued development of the project.

Your contribution - whether one-time or, ideally, recurring - goes 100% toward:

  • Servers, build systems, mirrors and bandwidth
  • Security tracking and rapid patch releases across all supported branches
  • Ongoing modernization and new feature development

Why sponsorship matters

BlueOnyx is maintained by a very small team and supported by a global community of users. Sponsorship contributions help ensure that security updates, platform modernization and infrastructure maintenance can continue without interruption.

Even modest recurring contributions from companies using BlueOnyx in production environments make a significant difference and help keep the platform stable, secure and actively maintained.
