DOGEBOX is a NixOS distribution that runs the Dogebox Runtime Environment

Caution

Warning

Dogebox is currently in a pre-alpha developer preview. Do not use it for any production workloads, and definitely don't send any money to addresses generated by it.

This release contains an OVA-Compatible virtual machine image. This image contains the foundation of the dogebox machine, but does not supply any pre-existing pups or other tooling. This image is an x86_64 compatible image, aarch64 and other architectures will soon follow.

Please join our DogeDev discord server for discussion, suggestions, and support.

Tip

All VM images currently have an account shibe with a hardcoded password suchpass

New Features

Pup Metadata

Nix Rebuild Hardening

The OS will no longer break if a change gets half-applied, or someone has configured a pup incorrectly.

Dependency Improvements

Pups can now expose TCP interfaces (in addition to HTTP ones previously supported) to other pups, allowing for a much wider array of software support.

UI Fixed & Improvements

An array of changes to the UI improving functionality, information displayed, and more!
