Xavier

Xavier is an open source project that provides a backend and frontend for open source MDM servers such as MicroMDM or NanoMDM.

Quick Start

1. Setup your MDM server - either MicroMDM or NanoMDM
2. Setup the backend server - deployment guide is found at backend/README.md
3. Setup the frontend web site - deployment guide is found at frontend/README.md

User Accounts

Xavier will eventually support SAML authentication. For now, as a new project, it only supports local user accounts. There are two types of accounts: administrator (can do anything) and auditor (read-only, cannot do anything). See the deployment guide for the backend in order to setup your first administrator account.

Recommended Architecture

The backend server can be especially busy - it handles requests from both the frontend and the MDM server. In a medium to large environment, it would be helpful to have a load balancer and multiple backend servers. This diagram is an idea of what the architecture could look like. This diagram includes Cloud Functions, which are not currently used in the app but are on the future roadmap. Cloud Functions will be used to handle mass deployment of config profiles or MDM commands.
