fungOSComponent ownership and interfaces
fungOS is a Debian-based operating environment that composes independently useful tools. Not every node runs every application. Shared contracts should be small, versioned and owned once; a discovery observation or shared schema is not permission to read another application's internal state.
Ownership map
| Component | Owns | Does not own |
|---|---|---|
| fungOS | Runtime profiles, generic rootfs assembly and provisioning seams | Every application's implementation or license |
| Mycelium | Machine identity, discovery, topology, access and signed distribution | Application transport or inference kernels |
| Genesis | Bootstrap, disk/image provisioning and first identity delivery | Ongoing application message routing |
| Unibus | Authorized application envelopes, routing and transport | Domain effects or machine lifecycle |
| Canvas | Human/agent composition, surfaces and application-owned controls | Host provisioning or generic transport |
| Bifrost | Inference-facing interfaces and routing | Machine identity or generic service supervision |
| UMIE | Modular inference execution and model recipes | Fleet authority or arbitrary model compatibility |
| Yggdrasil | Compute placement/execution integration | Issuing host identity |
| Shroud | Workload packaging and execution substrate | Bare-metal provisioning authority |
| IPFS/storage providers | Content-addressed bytes and caching | Application permission policy |
| DCP | Bounded state-derived decision contract | Provider internals or execution authority |
| Holodeck | XR room, interaction and bounded Lua room interfaces | CAD/CAM, audio or feed-owner internals |
This table describes interfaces and ownership, not a claim that each integration is installed, public or production-qualified.
Select a deployment
- Base node: generic Debian prerequisites, first-contact and update verification.
- Headless edge: service and message runtime without a local desktop.
- Display edge: Canvas runtime prerequisites, plus separately installed native applications.
- Compute node: explicitly placed inference/accelerator services; resource observations inform eligibility, not trust.
- Existing workstation: independently installed services retain the native OS and security model.
Choose profiles from actual requirements. A GPU does not automatically grant a compute role; a reachable router does not authorize a MIDI output; a model CID does not grant access to private content.
Interfaces worth preserving
- First contact delivers a protected machine-specific claim through a provisioner-owned adapter.
- Update verification consumes artifact, manifest and signature paths without owning installation.
- Application transport consumes narrow domain contracts without interpreting their effects.
- DCP execution consumes exact catalog/state revisions and provider-defined arguments.
- Inference consumers use the engine's declared model recipes and interfaces rather than backend internals.
- XR programs consume the versioned room ABI, not credentials or private applet state.
Operational status
The public fungOS builder and runtime interfaces are available. Generic outputs are rootfs tarballs; there is no public installer ISO in this slice. Persistent amd64 QEMU edge behavior and isolated visual rollback have documented qualification. Board boot integration and public package-origin deployment remain separate work.
Public owner sources: fungOS README.md, base/interfaces.md, docs/edge-dogfood.md. The broader ownership map is reviewed against the original Mycelium fungOS/ecosystem.md snapshot and Unibus/DCP contracts; freshness tracking here watches the public fungOS source, not every independent project.
