About

The Bunker Operations is a grassroots technology collective building open-source tools for activists, organizers, and communities who want to own their digital infrastructure.

We believe that the tools you use to organize shouldn't spy on you, lock you in, or charge you per seat. So we build alternatives — and we document everything along the way.

What We Build

  • Changemaker Lite — An advocacy platform with campaign management, canvassing tools, media library, and volunteer coordination
  • Community Websites — Customizable MkDocs-based sites for organizations
  • Email Activism Tools — Campaign email systems with representative lookup
  • Digital Infrastructure — Self-hosted alternatives to corporate SaaS

The Stack

Everything runs on open-source software:

  • PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Nginx
  • Express.js, React, Prisma
  • MkDocs Material, Gitea, Listmonk
  • Rocket.Chat, Excalidraw, N8N
  • Vaultwarden, Jitsi Meet, Gancio
