MOC - Fleet Operations

MOC - Fleet Operations

● Evergreen

Fleet coordination, daemon orchestration, store-and-forward intake pipelines, and incident runbooks across the distributed Bosun PKM environment. This hub governs how background daemons, browser extensions, and edge nodes exchange state without compromising local-first invariants or introducing unbounded server dependencies.

Operational Subsystems

  • Quartermaster (QTM): Personal finance ledger, bank/tax statement indexing, and sovereign asset accounting.
  • Crow’s Nest (CRW): Browser capture cockpit and research workbench routing clips directly into Tender.
  • On The Line (OTL): Incident response runbooks, shift handoffs, operational logs, and post-mortems.
  • Embers (EMB): Self-hosted private photo and video sharing for families with password and PIN gates.
  • Tender (TND): Local background file-system intake daemon (inotify/kqueue), clipboard watcher, and store-and-forward queue coordinator.
  • Hushwire (HSH): Ambient telemetry listener, CRT phosphor decay monitors, and zero-retention ephemeral origins.
