Dedicated NixOS machine with root SSH. 5-10 min provisioning.
Real commands, real configs, real daemons. No fake examples.
Self-healing, audit logging, and mesh networking are already running.
AI Agent Guides
Hands-on technical guides for the osModa platform. Every guide walks through real workflows on a real server — SSH commands, NixOS configuration, daemon interaction, and dashboard usage. No abstractions. No fake APIs.
osModa gives you a dedicated NixOS server with 10 daemons pre-installed and full root SSH access. These guides show you how to use every layer — from deploying your first agent to architecting multi-agent fleets with encrypted mesh networking.
What Makes These Guides Different
Every guide runs on the actual osModa platform. No hypothetical architectures.
Real Commands, Real Output
Every code block shows actual SSH commands, NixOS configuration snippets, and daemon interactions you can run on your own osModa server. No pseudocode. No placeholder APIs.
9 Rust Daemons Explained
agentd, osmoda-watch, osmoda-mesh, osmoda-mcpd, osmoda-keyd, osmoda-routines, osmoda-voice, osmoda-teachd, osmoda-egress. Each guide explains which daemons are involved and how they interact.
Production-Focused
These are not toy examples. Guides cover crash recovery, security hardening, audit compliance, cost planning, and multi-server coordination — the things that matter after your first demo works.
NixOS-Native
osModa runs on NixOS. Every guide uses declarative configuration, atomic deployments via SafeSwitch, and generation-based rollback. If you are new to NixOS, start with the NixOS Basics guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are these guides written for?
Engineers deploying AI agents in production. The guides assume basic Linux command-line familiarity and cover osModa-specific workflows — SSH access, NixOS configuration, Rust daemon interaction, and dashboard usage. No prior NixOS experience is required.
Do I need to read these guides to use osModa?
No. osModa servers come pre-configured with all 10 daemons, self-healing, audit logging, and mesh networking. You can deploy via the dashboard at spawn.os.moda without reading a single guide. These guides are for engineers who want deeper understanding of the platform internals.
How are these guides different from the blog posts?
Blog posts cover concepts, comparisons, and analysis. Guides are hands-on walkthroughs with real commands, NixOS configuration snippets, and step-by-step instructions for specific tasks on the osModa platform.
Can I follow these guides on a non-osModa NixOS server?
The NixOS configuration concepts apply to any NixOS installation, but the daemon-specific workflows (agentd, osmoda-watch, osmoda-mesh, etc.) are osModa platform features that come pre-installed on osModa servers.
How often are the guides updated?
Guides are updated whenever the platform changes. Each guide shows its last-updated date. If a daemon gains new capabilities or the dashboard adds new features, the relevant guides are revised to reflect the current state of the platform.
Ready to Build? Start with a Server.
Every guide assumes an osModa server. Spawn one in 5-10 minutes and follow along with real commands on real infrastructure. Self-healing, audit logging, and mesh networking are pre-configured. From $29/month.
