Sawa Server (SS)

Overview

Sawa Server (CodeName: SS) is an Alpine Linux-based USB server node project. The primary deliverable is a customized, bootable USB stick that instantly provisions a machine as a Sawa network node.

Note: This is NOT a web application. It is an infrastructure project focused on system-level configuration, network provisioning, and hardware abstraction using the lightweight and secure Alpine Linux environment.

Vision

The vision for Sawa Server is to create a zero-touch, highly resilient, disposable infrastructure layer. By booting entirely from a USB drive (and eventually running diskless in RAM), nodes can be deployed instantly, wiped cleanly without leaving traces on the host machine, and replaced seamlessly in the Sawa mesh network.

MVP Success Criteria: Insert USB into any x86_64 machine, power on, complete ss-init wizard in under 10 minutes, node is online and visible to the Sawa network.
