HFOS - The Hackerfleet Operating System

A collaborative and modular infrastructure for your data.

  • Geo Information Use a sophisticated map to annotate and review geographical information
  • Vehicle support Attach a sailyacht, your camper or pack one in your backpack
  • Project planning Issue tracking for collaborative teams
  • Modular Expandable with integrated modules, build your own
  • Cloud independent Run nodes on your own infrastructure

Installation

There is more than one way of installing HFOS, see the quickstart instructions for those.

The simplest way is to use the supplied installation script:

sudo ./install

The installation produces a lot of output which is automatically piped into ‘output.log’. It installs all dependencies then sets up a user account and the system’s services. This assumes, that you’re not running another web server on port 443 and that your firewall is configured to allow communications on that port. HFOS modules may require additional open ports, to find out about that, read their readme files.

If you run into trouble or get any unexpected errors, contact us or try the complex installation procedure.

Modules

The system is modular, so you can install what you need and leave other things.

A lot of the included modules are still Work in Progress, so help out, if you’re interested in a powerful - cloud independent - collaboration tool suite.

General modules

These are ‘official’ Hackerfleet developed modules. If you’d like to contribute your own, ping riot@c-base.org, to get it added to the list.
