This monorepo houses the entire Start9 ecosystem, centered on StartOS—a self-hosted Linux distribution for personal servers. The repository encompasses multiple products: StartOS (server OS with container orchestration, backup, networking, and marketplace), StartWRT (router firmware based on OpenWrt), StartTunnel (WireGuard-based tunnel service), StartCLI (command-line tool), StartRegistry (package registry), and StartSDK (TypeScript SDK for building service packages). The architecture is a hybrid of Rust backend services (using async Tokio, axum, and a custom RPC toolkit) and Angular frontends (using Taiga UI and a reactive PatchDB state store). Key orchestration is handled by the container runtime (Node.js with LXC) and a custom diff-based database (PatchDB) for real-time UI synchronization. The system manages service lifecycle, ACME certificates, DNS, port forwarding, VPNs, encrypted backups, and firmware updates. External dependencies include Linux kernel features (LXC, btrfs, eCryptFS, FUSE, nftables), WireGuard, and standard Rust/Angular libraries. The codebase is actively maintained with frequent version migrations and CI/CD pipelines, but carries some duplication across products and technical debt from rapid evolution.
