Not sure if this is supposed to go here or if I should post it elsewhere, but “Hello!” to everyone here.
Thanks for the great bit of software, hoping to make it work on my donor laptop.
Hello Icecold, I too was looking for a place to put the “Hello” post.
Got my Pure plugged in and running yesterday after work, so far pretty smooth sailing!
Hello Everyone!
Looking forward to using StartOS for my new node! 
Hello Catnip, welcome. I am enjoying using my server, a few challenges but to be expected with something new, new to me that is.
Hello All,
Just installed, according to the DIY on a Ryzen based machine, startOS. Worked fine, spent a couple of days going through, certificate setup, ssh into the machine, playing with Nextcloud, Vaultwarden and Filebrowser, to get a feel for the server. What I have tried so far have worked fine for me, eventually (more my own fault for not reading correctly).
I look forward to improve my stack, figure out Tor and more.
Hi yall…im new here…so sorry but idk where to create a new post …im trying to verifying the iso…i can verify one on the mac. but for some reason i cant verify the nonfree iso…evern though the iso and nonfree ios are both in my dowlnloads folder …any tips on how i can verify the nonfree version or why i cant verify it in terminal? thanks
Hi Basiltree!
Welcome to sovereign computing.
Your post would fall under category of DIY, Hacking & How-to I would say.
Regarding your question you should be able to verify your .iso file in termianl by running:
macOS
shasum -a 256 path/to/your/file.iso
Linux
sha256sum path/to/your/file.iso
Then you can compare this output with our Github page.
Hi. Ty. I ended up verifying it. I had to add the non free before iso for it to work. :).
When will Server Pure be available again? It’s been out of stock for awhile now?
Is some new product coming out? or what’s going on?
They should be in supply again later this month
Is there a Server One stock email list you can subscribe too?

Greetings! We started breaking away from the system in 2022. I sent Apple i Cloud divorce papers. My “sucker” fees were over $10/month for them collecting and selling my data.
Nice! Welcome to the community.
Hello all 
Just got my DIY Start9 server running, all the BTC things are nice and synced. Excited to try and develop some new packages for the community and help out as I can!
Oh, and Happy Easter if you’re into that sort of thing!
Hello all.
I bought an Embassy in 2023 but am only plugging it in now. I’m following the tutorials - some things have changed a bit since 2023, understandably - and when I try to update the software I get the following message:
I’ve searched around to see if it happened to anyone else but I’m drawing a blank. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.
All the best, Nell
