BlackboxOS

The BlackboxOS is an ARM-first pluggable platform for deploying multi-chain applications. It is used as the basis for all Crypdex's Blackbox devices. Basic info and getting started stuff is on this page.

Deeper dive documentation is available here.

Why?

The BlackboxOS builds on Docker container and orchestration tooling to address the specific needs of running blockchain-centric networks including security, data management, and inter-process communication. The goal is to make creating blockchain stacks simple.

What sort of stuff can you do?

Here are a few examples of what you can do with the BlackboxOS.

• SeedBox: Create a device that keeps fresh copies of multiple blockchains always up to date.
• Staking Node: Crypdex uses the BlackboxOS to configure, run, and maintain it's PIVX Staking Node.

There are some preconfigured recipes in the /recipes directory.

Features

• 🐳 Portable, Docker-based service stack.
• 👾 Multiarch All The Things! Runs on x86 and arm chipsets.
• Optimized for running multiple full nodes.
• Unified multi-chain deterministic wallet available.
• Expandable with new chains. Dynamically.
• Accessible via CLI, HTTP API, native RPCs, and GUI (under development)
• 🎗Maintenance. Service definitions, recipes, and images are maintained and kept up-to-date ensuring that your project is always running the right fork.
