Your Path to Digital Sovereignty
By 2026, the "SaaS Rent-Seeking" model has evolved into "Intelligence Extraction". Today, you aren't just paying for software; you are paying to train external models with your own proprietary know-how.
We stop the bleed with the Sovereign Stack. It is a fundamental shift from perpetual OpEx drain to strategic asset ownership—deployed on-prem, colocated, or leveraging confidential cloud bursting, all managed via a local control plane. Read the strategic pivot →
Phase 0 Core Architecture (The Foundation)
ss-node-os is an AGPLv3-licensed, bare-metal, virtual, or cloud Sovereign Mesh Node OS engineered to eliminate cross-platform protocol friction and deliver absolute digital sovereignty.
1. ZFS-Managed NFS (ss-nfsd)
Tech: nfs-kernel-server
Goal: Crush macOS protocol friction. Eradicate the AppleDouble plague, the Beachball of Death, Spotlight voids, and sporadic disconnects. Deliver blazing performance while retaining absolute control over export parameters.
2. Sovereign Identity Authority (ss-idm)
Tech: Kanidm
Goal: Lightweight, Rust-based Identity Provider. Drives Zero-Trust SSO and macOS Mobile Device Management (MDM) profiles to drastically reduce user friction.
3. Sovereign DNS Authority (ss-dns)
Tech: Dnsmasq
Goal: Establish deterministic, mesh-aware routing across all nodes using a split-brain GitOps architecture for fixed and dynamic records.
4. Virtualization Abstraction (ss-vcrate / ss-vkennel / ss-vpaddock)
Tech: Docker/Lima, LXD, and K3s
Goal: Seamless container and VM execution across mixed environments.
5. AppForce Workload Orchestrator (ss-appforce)
Tech: Containerized Sidecars & Docker/Compose Orchestration
Goal: Package and deploy third-party apps alongside ss-node-os. Seamlessly provisions identity, storage, and networking so every deployed workload automatically inherits Sovereign Identity.
Simplicity, zero friction, and pure performance—with total privacy and security for your data, right at your fingertips.
We are currently recruiting 5 hands-on alpha testers to stress-test the ZFS-managed NFS core. Approved testers will receive full source access via our self-hosted mirror.
