Marketplace

The Marketplace is where you discover services to install on your StartOS server. It is a collection of independent registries, like stores in a mall, each offering its own curated list of services.

How It Works

Each registry in the Marketplace is maintained independently. When you open the Marketplace, you browse one registry at a time. To switch between registries, click the arrows underneath the current registry title.

StartOS ships with two default registries: the Start9 Registry and the Community Registry. You can also add alternative registries or sideload packages directly.

Open Ecosystem

Anyone, anywhere can establish their own registry. This open model means no single entity controls which services are available, and no service can be effectively censored. Users choose which registries to trust, and services can be distributed through multiple independent registries, direct file transfer, or built from source.
