The Rust backend daemon for StartOS.
## Binaries
## Architecture
- `startbox` — Main daemon (runs as `startd`)
- `start-cli` — CLI interface
- `start-container` — Runs inside LXC containers; communicates with host and manages subcontainers
- `registrybox` — Registry daemon
- `tunnelbox` — VPN/tunnel daemon
See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for binaries, modules, Patch-DB patterns, and related documentation.
## Key Modules
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to add RPC endpoints, TS-exported types, and i18n keys.
- `src/context/` — Context types (RpcContext, CliContext, InitContext, DiagnosticContext)
- `src/service/` — Service lifecycle management with actor pattern (`service_actor.rs`)
- `src/db/model/` — Patch-DB models (`public.rs` synced to frontend, `private.rs` backend-only)
- `src/net/` — Networking (DNS, ACME, WiFi, Tor via Arti, WireGuard)
- `src/s9pk/` — S9PK package format (merkle archive)
- `src/registry/` — Package registry management
## Quick Reference
## RPC Pattern
```bash
cargo check -p start-os # Type check
make test-core # Run tests
make ts-bindings # Regenerate TS types after changing #[ts(export)] structs
cd sdk && make baseDist dist # Rebuild SDK after ts-bindings
```
See `rpc-toolkit.md` for JSON-RPC handler patterns and configuration.
## Operating Rules
## Patch-DB Patterns
Patch-DB provides diff-based state synchronization. Changes to `db/model/public.rs` automatically sync to the frontend.
**Key patterns:**
- `db.peek().await` — Get a read-only snapshot of the database state
- `db.mutate(|db| { ... }).await` — Apply mutations atomically, returns `MutateResult`
- `#[derive(HasModel)]` — Derive macro for types stored in the database, generates typed accessors
**Generated accessor types** (from `HasModel` derive):
- `as_field()` — Immutable reference: `&Model<T>`
- `as_field_mut()` — Mutable reference: `&mut Model<T>`
- `into_field()` — Owned value: `Model<T>`
**`Model<T>` APIs** (from `db/prelude.rs`):
- `.de()` — Deserialize to `T`
- `.ser(&value)` — Serialize from `T`
- `.mutate(|v| ...)` — Deserialize, mutate, reserialize
- For maps: `.keys()`, `.as_idx(&key)`, `.as_idx_mut(&key)`, `.insert()`, `.remove()`, `.contains_key()`
## i18n
See `i18n-patterns.md` for internationalization key conventions and the `t!()` macro.
## Rust Utilities & Patterns
See `core-rust-patterns.md` for common utilities (Invoke trait, Guard pattern, mount guards, Apply trait, etc.).
- Always run `cargo check -p start-os` after modifying Rust code
- When adding RPC endpoints, follow the patterns in [rpc-toolkit.md](rpc-toolkit.md)
- When modifying `#[ts(export)]` types, regenerate bindings and rebuild the SDK (see [ARCHITECTURE.md](../ARCHITECTURE.md#build-pipeline))
- When adding i18n keys, add all 5 locales in `core/locales/i18n.yaml` (see [i18n-patterns.md](i18n-patterns.md))
