StartOS Backend

• Requirements:
  • Install Rust
  • Recommended: rust-analyzer
  • Docker

Structure

• startos: This contains the core library for StartOS that supports building startbox.
• container-init (ignore: deprecated)
• js-engine: This contains the library required to build deno to support running .js maintainer scripts for v0.3
• snapshot-creator: This contains a binary used to build v8 runtime snapshots, required for initializing start-deno
• helpers: This contains utility functions used across both startos and js-engine
• models: This contains types that are shared across startos, js-engine, and helpers

Artifacts

The StartOS backend is packed into a single binary startbox that is symlinked under several different names for different behaviour:

• startd: This is the main daemon of StartOS
• start-cli: This is a CLI tool that will allow you to issue commands to startd and control it similarly to the UI
• start-sdk: This is a CLI tool that aids in building and packaging services you wish to deploy to StartOS
• start-deno: This is a CLI tool invoked by startd to run .js maintainer scripts for v0.3
• avahi-alias: This is a CLI tool invoked by startd to create aliases in avahi for mDNS
