DeBoot is a project to research and implement techniques for booting OS images from decentralized storage networks, such as Swarm or IPFS.

Documentation

Read all about the current technique in the DeBoot documentation pages.

DeBoot reached the following milestones in its development:

2022 Q4: Hackathon Concept: demonstration of a minimum viable DeBoot technique.
2023 Q2: x86-64 Proof-of-Concept: DeBoot technique for x86-64 architecture, on VM and Baremetal. link
2023 Q3: aarch64 Support: DeBoot technique for aarch64 architecture, on VM and Baremetal. link
2023 Q4: Security Model Proposal: an exploration of bootstrapping bare metal host infrastructure, and definition of a trust-oriented security model for provisioning and package management. link
2024 Q1: Enhanced UX: refinement of the build and boot processes, and creation of a user guide for the DeBoot technique

DeBoot project welcomes collaborators. If you are interested in deployment of software from decentralised storage, introduce yourself in the DeBoot chat on Matrix or the DeBoot chat on Telegram.
