FOSS

FOSS — Official Links

Open-source candidates for RV and light-marine field work: Signal K, OpenWrt, and Node-RED. This hub points at official project sites only. We integrate and install — we do not productize unvetted community flows, and we do not re-host proprietary vendor binaries.

What FOSS means on this hub

Ecosystem overview

These three projects often sit together on coaches and light marine: Signal K for vessel/RV data, Node-RED for dashboards and bridges, OpenWrt under many travel routers. Start at the official homes — not random forks or re-packs.

Node-RED integrate/install only — no unvetted-flow productization. Match plugin versions to upstream docs; we do not invent a supported-stack matrix.

Mirror honesty

Catalog policy is mirror-candidate, not an active mirror. Before any mirrors/ file: clear license, pinned upstream release tag, SHA256 + upstream URL in catalog. No proprietary vendor .bin / .swu. Until then: link only. Full rules on Policy.

Never

Catalog (FOSS)

Live cards from /catalog/index.json filtered to brand FOSS — Signal K server, Node-RED, OpenWrt, dashboards, and related plugins. Link / mirror-candidate per entry.
