Building the Brain: Join the Nexus Beta and Help Shape the Future of SMB Tech
The Vision
Most small‑business owners spend more time juggling tech than they do on their core product. Services, infrastructure, security, analytics, and dozens of SaaS tools create a hidden “digital debt” that slows growth.
Nexus is Marcoby’s answer: an AI‑powered operating system that orchestrates all those pieces for you, surfaces problems before they become crises, and lets you focus on what you do best—serving customers.
We’ve just hit a pivotal milestone. After a day of hardening the platform (one‑click OAuth 2.0 device flow, built‑in blocker detection, and a clean‑slate core), Nexus is ready for real‑world validation.
We need you. If you’re a founder, agency owner, or tech leader who’s tired of fighting your own stack, we’re inviting a small group of beta testers to try Nexus, break it, and tell us how to make it better.
What the Beta Looks Like for You
- Fill out the beta‑signup form – https://nexus.marcoby.com/beta-signup
- Receive a Marcoby Identity invite – an email that creates a secure Marcoby account (the key to every Nexus action).
- Download the installer – a single command:
curl -fsSL https://nexus.marcoby.com/download/install.sh | bash
- Run it and log in – the new OAuth 2.0 device flow works like pairing a smart TV: you’ll see a short code, visit a URL, enter the code, and you’re authenticated.
- Start testing – Nexus will begin managing your domains, hosting, SSL, and integrations. When it hits a blocker (missing API key, network restriction, etc.) it surfaces a clear, actionable message instead of silently failing.
No manual Docker files, no custom scripts, no secret‑key hunting.
What We Gained Today (Engineering Wins)
- Zero‑Config Authentication – Completed the OAuth 2.0 device flow backend. Users now activate a server with a single click.
- Autonomous Blocker Detection – Integrated governance tools that flag missing credentials or network limits in real time.
- Secure, Isolated Setup – The installer now generates dynamic DNS entries and secure database secrets automatically, keeping production credentials out of the user’s hands.
- Clean‑Slate Core – Retired legacy OAuth, Beta, and Service modules; the platform now runs on a single, maintainable code base.
These wins are fully verified by Gemini’s technical‑verification report (all claims are true, with only minor nuance around minimum hardware thresholds).
System Requirements (What You Need to Run Nexus)
| Resource | Recommended | Minimum* |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 4 vCPU | 2 vCPU |
| RAM | 8 GB | 4 GB |
| Disk | 40 GB SSD | 20 GB SSD |
| OS | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (or 24.04) | — |
| Docker | Engine 20.10+ (Compose V2) | — |
| Network | Outbound HTTPS to Marcoby services | — |
| Note: Deploying on the absolute minimum (2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM) works for single‑user testing but will trigger a low‑resource warning during the preflight check. |
If you don’t have a server, we recommend a Marcoby KVM 8 (8 GB RAM) or Marcoby KVM 16 (16 GB RAM) – managed virtual machines tuned for Nexus workloads. Explore the hosting options
How You’ll Help Us Change the World
- Validate real‑world workflows – Run Nexus on your own hardware, see how it automates your stack, and tell us where it shines or stalls.
- Surface integration edge‑cases – We support Google, Microsoft, GitHub, HubSpot, Stripe, and more. Your environment will help us harden each connector.
- Shape the roadmap – Your feedback will directly influence the next set of features, UI polish, and pricing model.
In short, you become a partner in progress for a platform that aims to eliminate digital debt for thousands of SMBs.
