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 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 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](https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases).

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?

Ass about face, but better late than never as they say.
Hello to everyone, and thanks for the help already received by members of the community while I was flapping about this and that setup related ☺
Just starting on my sovereign journey, hoping for good things in the future.

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.

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:
## **embassyOS Update Failed**
## Update was not successful because of Filesystem I/O Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)
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
