BlackboxOS

The Blackbox is an ARM-first pluggable platform for deploying multi-chain applications. It is used as the basis for all Crypdex's Blackbox devices. Basic info and getting started stuff is on this page.

All documentation is available here.

Why?

The Blackbox builds on Docker container and orchestration tooling to address the specific needs of running blockchain-centric networks including security, data management, and inter-process communication. The goal is to make creating blockchain stacks simple.

What sort of stuff can you do?

Here are a few examples of what you can do with the Blackbox.

Spin up a Bitcoin+Lightning node on regtest for local development
Create a "seedbox" that keeps a bunch of chains up to date
Create a multi-chain staking node with all the classic Proof of Stake chains
Run a Sparkswap Broker

Features

Multiarch All The Things! Runs on x86 and arm chipsets.
Portable, Docker-based service stack.
Optimized for running multiple full nodes.
Expandable with new chains. Dynamically.
Binary wrappers for easy CLI and RPC access
Maintenance! Service definitions, recipes, and images are maintained and kept up-to-date ensuring that your project is always running the right fork.
