Start Technologies is the monorepo for Start9's products, headlined by StartOS, an open-source Linux distribution that turns any PC into a personal server with a web UI for discovering, installing, configuring, backing up, and monitoring self-hosted services. It also includes StartWRT (an OpenWrt-based router OS), StartTunnel (a WireGuard VPN server), the start-sdk for packaging services, a CLI, and a package registry server.
Use cases
- run a personal server to self-host open-source apps without the command line
- escape big tech cloud services and host my own data privately
- set up a wireguard vpn for remote access to my home server
- build and publish a package for a self-hosted service marketplace
- turn a mini pc or raspberry pi into a plug-and-play home server
- flash a router with an open-source privacy-focused OS
- back up and monitor all my self-hosted services from one interface
When to choose
- you want a polished, GUI-driven personal server OS with a curated marketplace of self-hostable services
- you value sovereignty and privacy and want to replace custodial cloud services with your own hardware
- you want to package and distribute self-hosted software with dependency management, backups, and health checks built in
- you want an integrated VPN/tunnel and router OS alongside your server
When to avoid
- you need to run large-scale production infrastructure or orchestrate clusters of servers
- you prefer managing services manually with docker-compose or kubernetes on a general-purpose distro
- you need a specific service that isn't yet packaged for StartOS and don't want to package it yourself
- your hardware isn't supported by the available x86_64, ARM64, or RISC-V images
