EmbassyOS

Anyone can do it. No one can stop it.

EmbassyOS is a mass-market, graphical operating system designed to facilitate the discovery, installation, configuration, private self-hosting, and reliable operation of open-source software services and applications. It aims to eliminate trust and custodianship from personal computing.

⚠️ Caution

Some technologies supported by this software, such as Lightning, are considered in active development and might experience issues. Do not commit any funds you are not willing to loose. Be #reckless at your own risk.

Running EmbassyOS

There are multiple ways to obtain and begin using EmbassyOS.

Buy an Embassy

This is the most convenient option. Simply buy an Embassy from Start9 Labs and plug it in. Depending on where you live, shipping costs and import duties may vary.

Build your own Embassy

While not as convenient as buying an Embassy, this option is easier than you might imagine, and there are 4 reasons why you might prefer it:

1. You already have a Raspberry Pi and would like to re-purpose it.
2. You want to save on shipping costs.
3. You prefer not to divulge your physical shipping address.
4. You just like building things.

To pursue this option, follow this guide.
