Description

Native Planet provides hardware devices (Callisto, Tellurian, or Aurora) designed to run Urbit, a decentralized personal server platform, with the philosophy that a decentralized network requires decentralized hosting and that user data belongs in their living room, not the cloud. Their products facilitate an easy setup for users to get their Urbit ID running on a dedicated device. The company develops and maintains GroundSeg, an open-source container orchestration application for managing Urbit instances ("piers") and related services. GroundSeg can run on various hardware, including old PCs and Raspberry Pis, and is pre-installed on their ColonyOS. Key features include the ability to run multiple ships, a custom networking backend called StarTram for easy remote access, and self-hosted S3 (MinIO) for media storage. The target clients are individuals looking to self-host their digital identity and data on the Urbit network.
