Show HN: Renovate – The Kubernetes-Native Way
Hey folks, we built a Kubernetes operator for Renovate and wanted to share it. Instead of running Renovate as a cron job or relying on hosted services, this operator lets you manage it as a native Kubernetes resource with CRDs. You define your repos and config declaratively, and the operator handles scheduling and execution inside your cluster. No external dependencies, no SaaS lock-in, no webhook setup. The whole thing is open source and will stay that way – there's no paid tier or monetization plan behind it, we just needed this ourselves and figured others might too.
Would love to hear feedback or ideas if you give it a try: https://github.com/mogenius/renovate-operator
Show HN: Deadend CLI – Open-source self-hosted agentic pentest tooling
Hi HN,
Deadend is an agentic pentest CLI that automates vulnerability research in webapps.
the problem we are trying to solve : removing the time consumed in repetitive assessments, report generation and extracting relevant information to let them focus on vulnerability research but powerful enough to find issues or leads by itself when we are in a deadend.
highlights : As of today, we scored 78% on XBOW’s benchmarks with claude-sonnet-4.5 in blackbox (we are currently iterating over the architecture of the agent and running the newest to get better results overall).
The agent runs entirely locally with optional self-hosted models. Shell tooling is isolated in Docker, and the python interpreter with WASM.
Some cool ideas are on the roadmap : CI/CD integrations, code review, bash completion, OWASP Top 10 plugins…
Docker is needed and it currently works only on MacOS Arm64 and Linux 64bits installable in one bash command.

Love to hear your thoughts and feedbacks!

Show HN: Claudit – Claude Code Conversations as Git Notes, Automatically
Uses agent and Git Hooks to automatically create Git Notes on commit, containing the agent conversation that led to that commit. Works if either you or the agent commit.
It's basically the same thing as entire.io just announced that they got $60m investment for. Except I got Claude Code to write it last week, in my spare time, without really paying attention. I certainly didn't read or write any of the code, except for one rubbish joke in the README.
I've got a Claude Code instance working on Gemini CLI support and OpenCode support currently.
