Original: Orion Belt v1.0 — from Alpha bastion to a stable self-hosted SSH PAM
Short summary
Orion Belt v1.0 is a self-hosted SSH access gateway with PAM workflows, featuring reverse agents that eliminate inbound SSH ports, session recording, live watch, JIT access, and MFA support. It positions itself as a lighter alternative to Teleport for teams whose privileged access problem is primarily SSH-focused. The project is Apache 2.0 with Commons Clause, meaning it's free to self-host but cannot be sold as a product.
