Show HN: Osiris JSON generate private infrastructure snapshot without AI or SaaS

Osiris JSON is a tool that generates a private infrastructure snapshot without relying on AI or SaaS services, allowing users to document their system setup locally.

Background

- Osiris JSON is an open-source tool (GitHub) that lets you generate a full snapshot of your private IT infrastructure — servers, databases, containers, networks — without sending any data to a cloud service or AI model. - It competes with SaaS platforms like LucidChart or cloud-native diagram tools that require you to upload your config or pay per user; Osiris runs entirely on your own machine. - The "private snapshot" means it outputs a structured JSON file representing your infrastructure topology, which can be used for documentation, auditing, or as input to other tools. - This matters because many organizations are increasingly wary of sending sensitive infrastructure metadata to third-party AI or SaaS vendors due to security, compliance, and cost concerns.
