It is easy to package an open source SaaS application to work on Federated Core Platform. The project simply needs to create a package for the docker container, service files describing how the application connects to LDAP and Authelia for authentication, descriptions of premium licenses and how Federated Core Platform needs to recognize those for inclusion in premium services (example: OIDC), and then a template file for allowing for the correct choice of virtual machine resources and the Federated Monitor and Fix to ensure great experience for the customer. This package is dropped into the Provisioner service manager and is ready to be purchased/deployed by the billing system.
In the near future, we plan to provide a portal for projects to package and submit software for inclusion on Federated Core Platform.

Federated will be delivering in early 2026 an "on premise" solution for using artificial intelligence to create and deploy workflows between open source SaaS applications offered by Federated Core Platform. The design goal is to empower a customer to, for example, use Core Workflow Intelligence to take a grouping of customers from EspoCRM, connect them, based on conditions or parameters, to the mailing list software, and send AI-generated email communications to those customers based on actions taken in the Woocommerce store on Core.
We believe these sorts of "software intelligence" are very important for the overall success of customers using Federated Core and are central to the idea that open source is the best means to achieve maximum flexibility and business differentiation from software. Further, we believe AI is uniquely situated to provide real progress in connecting software to software for custom workflows. It need not work in "real time" but in enough time to deliver the right solution to customers reliably.

More and more, open source projects work with Federated Computer because we simplify the go-to-market. An open-source project hoping to monetize by selling a cloud service is now in the business of creating great SaaS software but also making it multi-tenant, building an ecommerce experience, and building and running a (hopefully) large cloud service. With Federated Core Platform, open source SaaS companies can off-load much of that to Federated while still maintaining the ability to charge for premium features and services.
You can think of an open source SaaS developer as an extension of your Federated Core Platform continually adding value to your overall go-to-market. These developers think in the same way. While their principle concern is the success and completeness of their software, they recognize the value for customers when their software is integrated into a total solution with great user management, unified storage and messaging, and the many other conveniences and services offered by Federated Core Platform.
All pricing for software is done outside of Federated Core Platform giving each installation the flexibility to build use cases and go-to-market solutions apart from the technology offerings.

Core Scanner is a utility to examine and manage each Core on a given installation of Federated Core Platform. It allows a customer service person to examine the Core, look at all the configuration files, see any anomalies in the files, track usage of resources (CPU, RAM, storage, network), and perform tightly managed actions on the Core to take remedial steps as needed.
Each installation of Core Scanner includes user and group priveleges so that the owner of the Federated Core Platform can look at all Cores running, but also partners can examine and manage the Cores of their customers. For example, a managed service provider may have a number of Cores for which they will want to be able to provide monitor and fix service3. Core Scanner allows them to see those Cores, only.
Core Scanner provides the ability to "take action" on a Core with a large library of pre-defined "actions" for each Core depending on the applications installed and the reality of the Core at the time of inspection. If a Core needs more storage, for example, "actions" are brought forward suggesting remedial action to the support person. There are also actions available to compare a given Core to normative Cores.
Core Scanner is supported by the "machine learning" functions in the [Update and Upgrade](update-and-upgrade.md) and [Monitor and Fix](monitor-and-fix.md) systems.

Every Core running on an installation of Federated Core Platform, every application running on every Core, and every service not an application running on every Core, is monitored in real time to ensure it runs, has the system resources needed, and provides customers with the best experience. If there are anomalies detected, alerts are created and can be sent to the local Matrix server, and Federated Monitor and Fix system attempts to solve the problem using patterns and the service definitions in place.
For example, if a customer with a 500GB storage limit for their Files service decides to upload 3TB of files, the File service will fail, and Monitor and Fix will attempt to fix the problem by adding for block storage (if that service is available AND the service definition allows that to happen without customer "approval").
The Monitor and Fix system continues to get better and better as we see more patterns and improve the paths to successful amelioration of problems.

Each Federated Core Platform installation has a Gitea respository where the software (OS, utilities, platform, open source SaaS) for the entire system is tracked. The operator of each installation is able to package those updates into regular upgrades pushed out to some/all Cores on the system, push them out individually for testing to some Cores, or schedule updates for a given list of Cores.
Since the nature of the Federated Core Platform is delivering open source SaaS to customers, there needs to be a testing protocol set up to ensure updates are in fact needed/wanted. Federated Computer does this centrally, so operators using Federated Core Platform can know the software will "work". However, there may be additional concerns with respect to security, other customizations that need to be tested, etc.
While Federated Core Platform draws much of the software from DockerHub, there are container images maintained by Federated Computer and, over time, more of the container images will come from Federated Computer rather than DockerHub. The principle reason for this is to add an additional step for quality and security.

One of the obstacles to deploying open source SaaS is user management. When each application has its own user management, it becomes complicated to build a workable system for the business or team, to build reliable workflows across applications, and to ensure security for the business or team for data. Federated Core Platform provides two layers of authentication to deal with these problems.
### LDAP
The foundation of Federated Core Platform authentication is LDAP. Every application connects to LDAP. If it doesn't use LDAP, it doesn't work on the platform. There are some applications for which the *only* account in LDAP is the administrator and the other users are created in the application itself. And example is Vaultwarden (password manager) because of the very sensitive nature of the information in Vaultwarden *outside* of access to Core services. You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).
LDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.
Core LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.
LDAP is managed through the Federated Core app "Panel".
### OIDC
Single-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.
Federated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few don't (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).

Federated Core supports PXE-booting two different Linux distributions (OpenMandriva and Core Desktop based on Arch) when a customer wants to complete solution for their team or office. These desktops are tied into Federated Core Authentication, have all the desktop applications (email, calendar, contacts, bookmarks, file synchronization, applications that take advantage of Nextcloud and other desktop applications) pre-configured and redy to use for the particular user as they log in to Core Desktop. This is a great solution for offices or use cases where it is important that each desktop be closely managed for the "correct" software and services so that it "just works".
Core Desktop can also be installed on laptops and other mobile computers so that on-the-go team members can get a computer that "just works" without the requirements for network access.

The "Provisioner" is responsible for setting up, updating/upgrading, and tearing down Cores. It does this in an entirely stateless way communicating with either the aacount management and billing system or the management system. Naturally, there are command-line utilities and an API available to accomplish all functions.
### Order
When and order comes through the account management and billing system, a manifest is created asking for a Core to be create with the required SaaS titles. This *manifest* is sent to the Provisioner which then requests a virtual machine (or machines, if the manifest includes load balancing or other extended Core services), then begins to build the Core software from the manifest. You can read more about the minimal build at [Core Mini](core-mini.md).
One of the key systems enabled for each Core is regular backup to a system of your choice. The credentials for the system are help by Provisioner but can be a local storage service, Backblaze (what we use at https://federated.computer), or some other backup service.
### Update
Provisioner can also modify Cores to add/subtract SaaS software from a Core depending on follow-on orders/cancellations from customers. It can also take instructions from the [update/upgrade system](../management/update-and-upgrade.md) to push out updates to existing software on a Core whether that is system software or SaaS software or other components.
### Tear Down
When it comes time to tear down a Core, Provisioner firsts backs up the Core to the system-defined backup service and then deletes the Core. After a set number of days a follow up command can be sent to Provisioner to clear away the backup.

Federated Computer can provide end-to-end customer support for your installation of Federated Core Platform. Whether your customers are end-user businesses and team or partners such as managed-service-providers.
In addition to customer support (offered during the timeframes you want), we offer a comprehensive documentation service and community for helping customers with self-service.
### End-user Businesses and Team
Federated Computer can use Freescout (a great Federated Core offering) to provide full customer support via email, SMS, or telephone to your customers. We have lots of experience providing great experiences to customers including 30-day on-boarding sequences, 3 hour response and 12 hour resolution, webinars, and other ways to ensure customer success and low churn for your go-to-market efforts.
### Channel Partners (Managed Service Providers)
We can also support your channel partners. In our experience, channel partners such as managed service providers are great ways to sell software and services but each requires significant support and explanation to best support their own customers. Federated Computer has extensive operation experience providing this service to partners and we can bring our experience, content, processes to your installation of Federated Core Platform.
### Other Operators
It isn't unusual for Federated Core Platform to be sold to other "operators" who don't want their own installation. We have done this for fiber companies, universities, and other large enterprises. Federated Computer can support your own go-to-market plans with support, content, and programs designed to find and close big opportunities such as other operators.

Federated Computer can work to get your to market in the fastest and most convenient way for your organization.
### Complete Management
We can run your installation of Federated Core Platform for your business. This includes 24/7/365 NOC operations on-top of your cloud installation or included with a Federated Computer cloud installation. In these scenarios, we ensure all software for Federated Core Platform is up and running, we work with your team to design specific product offerings and bundles, and run the updates/upgrades, we fix any Core faults in the system. The entire platform "just runs" and your team focuses on sales and marketing (working in conjunction with the Federated team for understanding use cases, content, blog posts, successful go-to-market).
### Management to Train
We can also, depending on the level of competency of your current team, work to run the Federated Core Platform for you while training your team to take over at a date certain in the future. We have found this to be the most successl approach to training rather that working on the particulars of how to run Federated Core Platform in the abstract.

Federated Core Platform is the best way for hosting companies, fiber networks, workshare companies, on-line communities, large enterprises to take control of the offering of SaaS software within their operational boundaries. Now, more than ever, open source SaaS software meets or exceeds the capabilities of proprietary SaaS, but the complexities of marshalling and delivering these solutions to customers are immense. Federated Core Platform solves the problem with technical sophistication, at a price designed to provide you with maximum margin, and with programs allowing you to get up and running in a matter of weeks.
The typical engagement with Federated Computer starts with some scoping sessions so that we can help you think through your product offering, your go-to-market, and how we will enable you to best support customers.
At the end of the day, the mission of Federated Computer is to provide you with the right tools, software, services allowing you to open up new monetization avenues within your existing hardware, datacenters, network pipes, sunk costs infrastructures, existing user bases.

Federated Core Platform includes a number of bundles (collections of open source SaaS software and services) specifically designed for specific enterprise customers and market types. Examples of these are [Commerce](content/docs/software-catalog/federated-commerce.md) and [Omnimedia](content/docs/software-catalog/federated-omnimedia.md).
It is possible to address "pro" customers in a couple ways. The first would be to design, build, and deliver a total solution using the building blocks available in Federated Core Platform and its software catalog.
However, there will be many opportunities to build out additional collections/bundles for customers requiring different sets of software and services delivered bespoke for their particular needs. These don't have to come from Federated Computer but can be designed and delivered by our partners and sold through all available channels including other operators, networks, and platforms. Open source allows us maximum flexibility to deliver great solutions to customers without re-inventing every wheel.

This allows you to fully manage the the expects margins for a sale.\nYou can even specify ranges of virtual machines depending on the type of cloud to which you are provisioning. For example: you may want to package one set of software for your Ampere-based Cores, versus another set of software based on X64-based Cores.\nFurther, bundles are useful to introduce more software to a customer and incentivize him to try more functionality. You may discover, in time, that, for example, customers purchasing CRM (EspoECRM) also want Mailing List management. You can build a bundle called “Digital Marketing” and sell that to customers with it defined as a bundle in Federated Core Platform.\nTechnically, bundles are simply a software dependency tree. You define them for provisioner using a YAML file such as:\n[Good] Mini # not required. always inferred.

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

In our experience, channel partners such as managed service providers are great ways to sell software and services but each requires significant support and explanation to best support their own customers. Federated Computer has extensive operation experience providing this service to partners and we can bring our experience, content, processes to your installation of Federated Core Platform.\nOther Operators linkIt isnt unusual for Federated Core Platform to be sold to other “operators” who dont want their own installation. We have done this for fiber companies, universities, and other large enterprises. Federated Computer can support your own go-to-market plans with support, content, and programs designed to find and close big opportunities such as other operators.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

<p>It is easy to package an open source SaaS application to work on Federated Core Platform. The project simply needs to create a package for the docker container, service files describing how the application connects to LDAP and Authelia for authentication, descriptions of premium licenses and how Federated Core Platform needs to recognize those for inclusion in premium services (example: OIDC), and then a template file for allowing for the correct choice of virtual machine resources and the Federated Monitor and Fix to ensure great experience for the customer. This package is dropped into the Provisioner service manager and is ready to be purchased/deployed by the billing system.</p>

You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

With Federated Core Platform, open source SaaS companies can off-load much of that to Federated while still maintaining the ability to charge for premium features and services.\nYou can think of an open source SaaS developer as an extension of your Federated Core Platform continually adding value to your overall go-to-market. These developers think in the same way. While their principle concern is the success and completeness of their software, they recognize the value for customers when their software is integrated into a total solution with great user management, unified storage and messaging, and the many other conveniences and services offered by Federated Core Platform.\nAll pricing for software is done outside of Federated Core Platform giving each installation the flexibility to build use cases and go-to-market solutions apart from the technology offerings.\n"

<p>Federated will be delivering in early 2026 an &ldquo;on premise&rdquo; solution for using artificial intelligence to create and deploy workflows between open source SaaS applications offered by Federated Core Platform. The design goal is to empower a customer to, for example, use Core Workflow Intelligence to take a grouping of customers from EspoCRM, connect them, based on conditions or parameters, to the mailing list software, and send AI-generated email communications to those customers based on actions taken in the Woocommerce store on Core.</p>
<p>We believe these sorts of &ldquo;software intelligence&rdquo; are very important for the overall success of customers using Federated Core and are central to the idea that open source is the best means to achieve maximum flexibility and business differentiation from software. Further, we believe AI is uniquely situated to provide real progress in connecting software to software for custom workflows. It need not work in &ldquo;real time&rdquo; but in enough time to deliver the right solution to customers reliably.</p>

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

This package is dropped into the Provisioner service manager and is ready to be purchased/deployed by the billing system.\nIn the near future, we plan to provide a portal for projects to package and submit software for inclusion on Federated Core Platform.\n"

description: "More and more, open source projects work with Federated Computer because we simplify the go-to-market. An open-source project hoping to monetize by selling a cloud service is now in the business of creating great SaaS software but also making it multi-tenant, building an ecommerce experience, and building and running a (hopefully) large cloud service.

With Federated Core Platform, open source SaaS companies can off-load much of that to Federated while still maintaining the ability to charge for premium features and services.\nYou can think of an open source SaaS developer as an extension of your Federated Core Platform continually adding value to your overall go-to-market. These developers think in the same way. While their principle concern is the success and completeness of their software, they recognize the value for customers when their software is integrated into a total solution with great user management, unified storage and messaging, and the many other conveniences and services offered by Federated Core Platform.\nAll pricing for software is done outside of Federated Core Platform giving each installation the flexibility to build use cases and go-to-market solutions apart from the technology offerings.\n"

You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

<p>You can think of an open source SaaS developer as an extension of your Federated Core Platform continually adding value to your overall go-to-market. These developers think in the same way. While their principle concern is the success and completeness of their software, they recognize the value for customers when their software is integrated into a total solution with great user management, unified storage and messaging, and the many other conveniences and services offered by Federated Core Platform.</p>

And example is Vaultwarden (password manager) because of the very sensitive nature of the information in Vaultwarden outside of access to Core services. You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

Our company actively contributes both financially and with code to a number of open-source projects offered in Federated Core and Federated Plus including Castopod, Bookstack, Headscale, Matrix, and OpenMandriva. We do all the work for you to ensure open-source projects are integrated, work well together, and provide you with the right value.\nDavid Young linkOur CEO and founder, David Young, has a long history working with impactful startups including Joyent. At Joyent he was responsible for leading the team that invented and patented cloud computing, containers-as-a-service, cloud operating system, infrastructure-as-a-service, node.js, native-web-apps as desktop/mobile apps (what became Electron) and many more fundamental cloud innovations.\nDavids companies have been backed by the biggest investors including Dell, Intel; and he has brought ground-breaking solutions to cloud pioneers such as Dell, Telefonica, Singtel, working for important early cloud adopters such as Twitter, Facebook Developer Platform, Linkedin, and many, many others.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia.

It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

<title>Core Scanner</title>
<link>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/core-scanner/</link>
<pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:34:24 -0600</pubDate>
<guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/core-scanner/</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Core Scanner is a utility to examine and manage each Core on a given installation of Federated Core Platform. It allows a customer service person to examine the Core, look at all the configuration files, see any anomalies in the files, track usage of resources (CPU, RAM, storage, network), and perform tightly managed actions on the Core to take remedial steps as needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Each installation of Core Scanner includes user and group priveleges so that the owner of the Federated Core Platform can look at all Cores running, but also partners can examine and manage the Cores of their customers. For example, a managed service provider may have a number of Cores for which they will want to be able to provide monitor and fix service3. Core Scanner allows them to see those Cores, only.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Update and Upgrade</title>
<link>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/update-and-upgrade/</link>
<pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:36:19 -0600</pubDate>
<guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/update-and-upgrade/</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Each Federated Core Platform installation has a Gitea respository where the software (OS, utilities, platform, open source SaaS) for the entire system is tracked. The operator of each installation is able to package those updates into regular upgrades pushed out to some/all Cores on the system, push them out individually for testing to some Cores, or schedule updates for a given list of Cores.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since the nature of the Federated Core Platform is delivering open source SaaS to customers, there needs to be a testing protocol set up to ensure updates are in fact needed/wanted. Federated Computer does this centrally, so operators using Federated Core Platform can know the software will &amp;ldquo;work&amp;rdquo;. However, there may be additional concerns with respect to security, other customizations that need to be tested, etc.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<pubDate>Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:35:43 -0600</pubDate>
<guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/monitor-and-fix/</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Every Core running on an installation of Federated Core Platform, every application running on every Core, and every service not an application running on every Core, is monitored in real time to ensure it runs, has the system resources needed, and provides customers with the best experience. If there are anomalies detected, alerts are created and can be sent to the local Matrix server, and Federated Monitor and Fix system attempts to solve the problem using patterns and the service definitions in place.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

The first would be to design, build, and deliver a total solution using the building blocks available in Federated Core Platform and its software catalog.\nHowever, there will be many opportunities to build out additional collections/bundles for customers requiring different sets of software and services delivered bespoke for their particular needs. These dont have to come from Federated Computer but can be designed and delivered by our partners and sold through all available channels including other operators, networks, and platforms. Open source allows us maximum flexibility to deliver great solutions to customers without re-inventing every wheel.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

And example is Vaultwarden (password manager) because of the very sensitive nature of the information in Vaultwarden outside of access to Core services. You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

<description>&lt;p&gt;The &amp;ldquo;Provisioner&amp;rdquo; is responsible for setting up, updating/upgrading, and tearing down Cores. It does this in an entirely stateless way communicating with either the aacount management and billing system or the management system. Naturally, there are command-line utilities and an API available to accomplish all functions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;order&#34;&gt;Order &lt;a href=&#34;#order&#34; class=&#34;anchor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&gt;&lt;i class=&#34;material-icons align-middle&#34;&gt;link&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;When and order comes through the account management and billing system, a manifest is created asking for a Core to be create with the required SaaS titles. This &lt;em&gt;manifest&lt;/em&gt; is sent to the Provisioner which then requests a virtual machine (or machines, if the manifest includes load balancing or other extended Core services), then begins to build the Core software from the manifest.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Federated maintains its own Linux distribution for the specific purpose of control of the types and versions of software used in virtual machine. This descrease the surface area for attacks, increased maintainability for the Cores built on top, and assures our systems work on X64 and Arm (example: Ampere) systems as well as fully supporting IPv4 and IPv6 for cloud deployment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Core Server is based on &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.openmandriva.org&#34; rel=&#34;external&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;OpenMandriva&lt;svg width=&#34;16&#34; height=&#34;16&#34; viewBox=&#34;0 0 24 24&#34; xmlns=&#34;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#34;&gt;&lt;path fill=&#34;currentColor&#34; d=&#34;M14 5c-.552 0-1-.448-1-1s.448-1 1-1h6c.552 0 1 .448 1 1v6c0 .552-.448 1-1 1s-1-.448-1-1v-3.586l-7.293 7.293c-.391.39-1.024.39-1.414 0-.391-.391-.391-1.024 0-1.414l7.293-7.293h-3.586zm-9 2c-.552 0-1 .448-1 1v11c0 .552.448 1 1 1h11c.552 0 1-.448 1-1v-4.563c0-.552.448-1 1-1s1 .448 1 1v4.563c0 1.657-1.343 3-3 3h-11c-1.657 0-3-1.343-3-3v-11c0-1.657 1.343-3 3-3h4.563c.552 0 1 .448 1 1s-.448 1-1 1h-4.563z&#34;/&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;&lt;/a&gt; a Linux distribution lead by Federated Computer&amp;rsquo;s chief systems engineer.

<guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/provisioning/authentication/</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;One of the obstacles to deploying open source SaaS is user management. When each application has its own user management, it becomes complicated to build a workable system for the business or team, to build reliable workflows across applications, and to ensure security for the business or team for data. Federated Core Platform provides two layers of authentication to deal with these problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;ldap&#34;&gt;LDAP &lt;a href=&#34;#ldap&#34; class=&#34;anchor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&gt;&lt;i class=&#34;material-icons align-middle&#34;&gt;link&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The foundation of Federated Core Platform authentication is LDAP. Every application connects to LDAP. If it doesn&amp;rsquo;t use LDAP, it doesn&amp;rsquo;t work on the platform. There are some applications for which the &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; account in LDAP is the administrator and the other users are created in the application itself. And example is Vaultwarden (password manager) because of the very sensitive nature of the information in Vaultwarden &lt;em&gt;outside&lt;/em&gt; of access to Core services. You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Federated Core supports PXE-booting two different Linux distributions (OpenMandriva and Core Desktop based on Arch) when a customer wants to complete solution for their team or office. These desktops are tied into Federated Core Authentication, have all the desktop applications (email, calendar, contacts, bookmarks, file synchronization, applications that take advantage of Nextcloud and other desktop applications) pre-configured and redy to use for the particular user as they log in to Core Desktop. This is a great solution for offices or use cases where it is important that each desktop be closely managed for the &amp;ldquo;correct&amp;rdquo; software and services so that it &amp;ldquo;just works&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

With Federated Core Platform, open source SaaS companies can off-load much of that to Federated while still maintaining the ability to charge for premium features and services.\nIt is easy to package an open source SaaS application to work on Federated Core Platform. The project simply needs to create a package for the docker container, service files describing how the application connects to LDAP and Authelia for authentication, descriptions of premium licenses and how Federated Core Platform needs to recognize those for inclusion in premium services (example: OIDC), and then a template file for allowing for the correct choice of virtual machine resources and the Federated Monitor and Fix to ensure great experience for the customer. This package is dropped into the Provisioner service manager and is ready to be purchased/deployed by the billing system.\nAll pricing is done outside of Federated Core Platform.\n"

You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

In our experience, channel partners such as managed service providers are great ways to sell software and services but each requires significant support and explanation to best support their own customers. Federated Computer has extensive operation experience providing this service to partners and we can bring our experience, content, processes to your installation of Federated Core Platform.\nOther Operators linkIt isnt unusual for Federated Core Platform to be sold to other “operators” who dont want their own installation. We have done this for fiber companies, universities, and other large enterprises. Federated Computer can support your own go-to-market plans with support, content, and programs designed to find and close big opportunities such as other operators.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

In our experience, channel partners such as managed service providers are great ways to sell software and services but each requires significant support and explanation to best support their own customers. Federated Computer has extensive operation experience providing this service to partners and we can bring our experience, content, processes to your installation of Federated Core Platform.\nOther Operators linkIt isnt unusual for Federated Core Platform to be sold to other “operators” who dont want their own installation. We have done this for fiber companies, universities, and other large enterprises. Federated Computer can support your own go-to-market plans with support, content, and programs designed to find and close big opportunities such as other operators.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

Federated Computer has extensive operation experience providing this service to partners and we can bring our experience, content, processes to your installation of Federated Core Platform.\nOther Operators linkIt isnt unusual for Federated Core Platform to be sold to other “operators” who dont want their own installation. We have done this for fiber companies, universities, and other large enterprises. Federated Computer can support your own go-to-market plans with support, content, and programs designed to find and close big opportunities such as other operators.\n"

You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

But in the past, running open-source software required lots of technical knowledge. Federated Computer makes it easy for any business to adopt open-source.\nWe are great stewards of the benefits of open-source. Our company actively contributes both financially and with code to a number of open-source projects offered in Federated Core and Federated Plus including Castopod, Bookstack, Headscale, Matrix, and OpenMandriva. We do all the work for you to ensure open-source projects are integrated, work well together, and provide you with the right value.\nDavid Young linkOur CEO and founder, David Young, has a long history working with impactful startups including Joyent. At Joyent he was responsible for leading the team that invented and patented cloud computing, containers-as-a-service, cloud operating system, infrastructure-as-a-service, node.js, native-web-apps as desktop/mobile apps (what became Electron) and many more fundamental cloud innovations.\nDavids companies have been backed by the biggest investors including Dell, Intel; and he has brought ground-breaking solutions to cloud pioneers such as Dell, Telefonica, Singtel, working for important early cloud adopters such as Twitter, Facebook Developer Platform, Linkedin, and many, many others.\n"

This allows you to fully manage the the expects margins for a sale.\nYou can even specify ranges of virtual machines depending on the type of cloud to which you are provisioning. For example: you may want to package one set of software for your Ampere-based Cores, versus another set of software based on X64-based Cores.\nFurther, bundles are useful to introduce more software to a customer and incentivize him to try more functionality. You may discover, in time, that, for example, customers purchasing CRM (EspoECRM) also want Mailing List management. You can build a bundle called “Digital Marketing” and sell that to customers with it defined as a bundle in Federated Core Platform.\nTechnically, bundles are simply a software dependency tree. You define them for provisioner using a YAML file such as:\n[Good] Mini # not required. always inferred. Nextcloud Nextcloud-Talk Wordpress Valutwarden Headscale Simple-VPN Thereafter, you only need to call “Good” to provision a Core with the specified software.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

An open-source project hoping to monetize by selling a cloud service is now in the business of creating great SaaS software but also making it multi-tenant, building an ecommerce experience, and building and running a (hopefully) large cloud service. With Federated Core Platform, open source SaaS companies can off-load much of that to Federated while still maintaining the ability to charge for premium features and services.\nYou can think of an open source SaaS developer as an extension of your Federated Core Platform continually adding value to your overall go-to-market. These developers think in the same way. While their principle concern is the success and completeness of their software, they recognize the value for customers when their software is integrated into a total solution with great user management, unified storage and messaging, and the many other conveniences and services offered by Federated Core Platform.\nAll pricing for software is done outside of Federated Core Platform giving each installation the flexibility to build use cases and go-to-market solutions apart from the technology offerings.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

<p>Federated Core Platform is the best way for hosting companies, fiber networks, workshare companies, on-line communities, large enterprises to take control of the offering of SaaS software within their operational boundaries. Now, more than ever, open source SaaS software meets or exceeds the capabilities of proprietary SaaS, but the complexities of marshalling and delivering these solutions to customers are immense. Federated Core Platform solves the problem with technical sophistication, at a price designed to provide you with maximum margin, and with programs allowing you to get up and running in a matter of weeks.</p>
<p>The typical engagement with Federated Computer starts with some scoping sessions so that we can help you think through your product offering, your go-to-market, and how we will enable you to best support customers.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, the mission of Federated Computer is to provide you with the right tools, software, services allowing you to open up new monetization avenues within your existing hardware, datacenters, network pipes, sunk costs infrastructures, existing user bases.</p>

You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

<p>Federated Core Platform includes a number of bundles (collections of open source SaaS software and services) specifically designed for specific enterprise customers and market types. Examples of these are <a href="content/docs/software-catalog/federated-commerce.md">Commerce</a> and <a href="content/docs/software-catalog/federated-omnimedia.md">Omnimedia</a>.</p>
<p>It is possible to address &ldquo;pro&rdquo; customers in a couple ways. The first would be to design, build, and deliver a total solution using the building blocks available in Federated Core Platform and its software catalog.</p>
<p>However, there will be many opportunities to build out additional collections/bundles for customers requiring different sets of software and services delivered bespoke for their particular needs. These don&rsquo;t have to come from Federated Computer but can be designed and delivered by our partners and sold through all available channels including other operators, networks, and platforms. Open source allows us maximum flexibility to deliver great solutions to customers without re-inventing every wheel.</p>

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

Federated Computer has extensive operation experience providing this service to partners and we can bring our experience, content, processes to your installation of Federated Core Platform.\nOther Operators linkIt isnt unusual for Federated Core Platform to be sold to other “operators” who dont want their own installation. We have done this for fiber companies, universities, and other large enterprises. Federated Computer can support your own go-to-market plans with support, content, and programs designed to find and close big opportunities such as other operators.\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do.

This allows you to fully manage the the expects margins for a sale.\nYou can even specify ranges of virtual machines depending on the type of cloud to which you are provisioning. For example: you may want to package one set of software for your Ampere-based Cores, versus another set of software based on X64-based Cores.\nFurther, bundles are useful to introduce more software to a customer and incentivize him to try more functionality. You may discover, in time, that, for example, customers purchasing CRM (EspoECRM) also want Mailing List management. You can build a bundle called “Digital Marketing” and sell that to customers with it defined as a bundle in Federated Core Platform.\nTechnically, bundles are simply a software dependency tree. You define them for provisioner using a YAML file such as:\n[Good] Mini # not required. always inferred. Nextcloud Nextcloud-Talk Wordpress Valutwarden Headscale Simple-VPN Thereafter, you only need to call “Good” to provision a Core with the specified software.\n"

And example is Vaultwarden (password manager) because of the very sensitive nature of the information in Vaultwarden outside of access to Core services. You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).\nLDAP services can be exposed to network outside of Core to be used by other systems that use LDAP. And example would be a collection of Windows, MacOS, Linux desktop computers where you want users to log in to this machines using their Core credentials from LDAP. You could also use Core LDAP for other software systems where you want to use a central user repository for access control such as virtual desktop environments.\nCore LDAP support users and groups. For example, you can delegate administrative access controls to certain users in Nextcloud using LDAP.\nLDAP is managed through the Federated Core app “Panel”.\nOIDC linkSingle-sign on is provided in Federated Core Platform by Authelia. This allows, for example, a customer to log in to one open source SaaS application in a browser and to automatically log in to other Core applications in the same browser. It also allows the user to log out of all applications, in the same way.\nFederated Core applications default to OIDC authentication when the application supports it. Most do. Some applications only support OIDC with a premium upgrade (also supported), but a few dont (yet) support OIDC or only support authentication using OIDC providers such as Google, etc. Federated plans to provide work arounds for all applications to use OIDC and have done this successfully for some (eg. cal.com).\n"

<description>&lt;p&gt;The &amp;ldquo;Provisioner&amp;rdquo; is responsible for setting up, updating/upgrading, and tearing down Cores. It does this in an entirely stateless way communicating with either the aacount management and billing system or the management system. Naturally, there are command-line utilities and an API available to accomplish all functions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;order&#34;&gt;Order &lt;a href=&#34;#order&#34; class=&#34;anchor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&gt;&lt;i class=&#34;material-icons align-middle&#34;&gt;link&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;When and order comes through the account management and billing system, a manifest is created asking for a Core to be create with the required SaaS titles. This &lt;em&gt;manifest&lt;/em&gt; is sent to the Provisioner which then requests a virtual machine (or machines, if the manifest includes load balancing or other extended Core services), then begins to build the Core software from the manifest. You can read more about the minimal build at &lt;a data-bs-delay=&#34;{&amp;#34;hide&amp;#34;:300,&amp;#34;show&amp;#34;:550}&#34; data-bs-html=&#34;true&#34; data-bs-title=&#34;&lt;a href=&#39;http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/provisioning/core-mini/&#39;&gt;&lt;p&gt;PROVISIONING&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Federated maintains its own Linux distribution for the specific purpose of control of the types and versions of software used in virtual machine. This descrease the surface area for attacks, increased maintainability for the Cores built on top, and assures our systems work on X64 and Arm (example: Ampere) systems as well as fully supporting IPv4 and IPv6 for cloud deployment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Core Server is based on &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.openmandriva.org&#34; rel=&#34;external&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;OpenMandriva&lt;svg width=&#34;16&#34; height=&#34;16&#34; viewBox=&#34;0 0 24 24&#34; xmlns=&#34;http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#34;&gt;&lt;path fill=&#34;currentColor&#34; d=&#34;M14 5c-.552 0-1-.448-1-1s.448-1 1-1h6c.552 0 1 .448 1 1v6c0 .552-.448 1-1 1s-1-.448-1-1v-3.586l-7.293 7.293c-.391.39-1.024.39-1.414 0-.391-.391-.391-1.024 0-1.414l7.293-7.293h-3.586zm-9 2c-.552 0-1 .448-1 1v11c0 .552.448 1 1 1h11c.552 0 1-.448 1-1v-4.563c0-.552.448-1 1-1s1 .448 1 1v4.563c0 1.657-1.343 3-3 3h-11c-1.657 0-3-1.343-3-3v-11c0-1.657 1.343-3 3-3h4.563c.552 0 1 .448 1 1s-.448 1-1 1h-4.563z&#34;/&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;&lt;/a&gt; a Linux distribution lead by Federated Computer&amp;rsquo;s chief systems engineer.

<guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/provisioning/authentication/</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;One of the obstacles to deploying open source SaaS is user management. When each application has its own user management, it becomes complicated to build a workable system for the business or team, to build reliable workflows across applications, and to ensure security for the business or team for data. Federated Core Platform provides two layers of authentication to deal with these problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;ldap&#34;&gt;LDAP &lt;a href=&#34;#ldap&#34; class=&#34;anchor&#34; aria-hidden=&#34;true&#34;&gt;&lt;i class=&#34;material-icons align-middle&#34;&gt;link&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;The foundation of Federated Core Platform authentication is LDAP. Every application connects to LDAP. If it doesn&amp;rsquo;t use LDAP, it doesn&amp;rsquo;t work on the platform. There are some applications for which the &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; account in LDAP is the administrator and the other users are created in the application itself. And example is Vaultwarden (password manager) because of the very sensitive nature of the information in Vaultwarden &lt;em&gt;outside&lt;/em&gt; of access to Core services. You create the user in Vaultwarden as the administrative user but then, the account is connected to Core LDAP (if desired).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/core-scanner/</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Core Scanner is a utility to examine and manage each Core on a given installation of Federated Core Platform. It allows a customer service person to examine the Core, look at all the configuration files, see any anomalies in the files, track usage of resources (CPU, RAM, storage, network), and perform tightly managed actions on the Core to take remedial steps as needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Each installation of Core Scanner includes user and group priveleges so that the owner of the Federated Core Platform can look at all Cores running, but also partners can examine and manage the Cores of their customers. For example, a managed service provider may have a number of Cores for which they will want to be able to provide monitor and fix service3. Core Scanner allows them to see those Cores, only.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<guid>http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/update-and-upgrade/</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Each Federated Core Platform installation has a Gitea respository where the software (OS, utilities, platform, open source SaaS) for the entire system is tracked. The operator of each installation is able to package those updates into regular upgrades pushed out to some/all Cores on the system, push them out individually for testing to some Cores, or schedule updates for a given list of Cores.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since the nature of the Federated Core Platform is delivering open source SaaS to customers, there needs to be a testing protocol set up to ensure updates are in fact needed/wanted. Federated Computer does this centrally, so operators using Federated Core Platform can know the software will &amp;ldquo;work&amp;rdquo;. However, there may be additional concerns with respect to security, other customizations that need to be tested, etc.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Every Core running on an installation of Federated Core Platform, every application running on every Core, and every service not an application running on every Core, is monitored in real time to ensure it runs, has the system resources needed, and provides customers with the best experience. If there are anomalies detected, alerts are created and can be sent to the local Matrix server, and Federated Monitor and Fix system attempts to solve the problem using patterns and the service definitions in place.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Federated will be delivering in early 2026 an &amp;ldquo;on premise&amp;rdquo; solution for using artificial intelligence to create and deploy workflows between open source SaaS applications offered by Federated Core Platform. The design goal is to empower a customer to, for example, use Core Workflow Intelligence to take a grouping of customers from EspoCRM, connect them, based on conditions or parameters, to the mailing list software, and send AI-generated email communications to those customers based on actions taken in the Woocommerce store on Core.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;It is easy to package an open source SaaS application to work on Federated Core Platform. The project simply needs to create a package for the docker container, service files describing how the application connects to LDAP and Authelia for authentication, descriptions of premium licenses and how Federated Core Platform needs to recognize those for inclusion in premium services (example: OIDC), and then a template file for allowing for the correct choice of virtual machine resources and the Federated Monitor and Fix to ensure great experience for the customer. This package is dropped into the Provisioner service manager and is ready to be purchased/deployed by the billing system.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;More and more, open source projects work with Federated Computer because we simplify the go-to-market. An open-source project hoping to monetize by selling a cloud service is now in the business of creating great SaaS software but also making it multi-tenant, building an ecommerce experience, and building and running a (hopefully) large cloud service. With Federated Core Platform, open source SaaS companies can off-load much of that to Federated while still maintaining the ability to charge for premium features and services.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Federated Core Platform includes a number of bundles (collections of open source SaaS software and services) specifically designed for specific enterprise customers and market types. Examples of these are &lt;a href=&#34;content/docs/software-catalog/federated-commerce.md&#34;&gt;Commerce&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;content/docs/software-catalog/federated-omnimedia.md&#34;&gt;Omnimedia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is possible to address &amp;ldquo;pro&amp;rdquo; customers in a couple ways.

<description>&lt;p&gt;Outlets with significant communities can use Federated&amp;rsquo;s affilaite programs to earn up to 30% (the number is really dependent on your own installation&amp;rsquo;s exigencies!) on sales. Affiliates are a great way to build reputation and trust with customers while compensating those affiliate channels for their endorsements.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We have found the best affiliates are those that use Federated Core products. When an affiliate is emeshed in open source and especially the open source SaaS offered through Federated Core Platform, the crediblity of the recommendation to the affiliate&amp;rsquo;s community is sterling.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
