Getting started

Core concepts

A quick tour of the ideas that show up everywhere in brintOS. Placeholder content for now.

Machines

A machine is a versioned root filesystem that boots. It behaves like a repository — you can fork it, share it, and track its history — but launching it gives you a running Linux environment.

Snapshots

Changes to a machine are captured as content-addressed snapshots, so forks are cheap and history is immutable.

Filesystem

Each machine's files live behind an API. You can browse them in the web UI, or mount them on your own computer with brintos-fs.
