Saphira Linux
Saphira Linux has a home of its own
Saphira Linux is AKADATA’s source-built, musl/OpenRC server distribution for self-hosted infrastructure. Development, downloads, documentation, packages and the Dragon feature sets now live on the dedicated Saphira Linux website.
Server stacks
From package to production
Each server‑role page below is a deployment guide: why the tool was selected, how to configure it from scratch, how it connects to the other stacks, and which man pages and upstream references to read next.
The commands are given to be typed and checked against your own system, not pasted unread. Every configuration example uses placeholder credentials that you must replace.
Database
MariaDB and SQLite3 — the two database engines shipped with Saphira. Start, secure, create databases and users, and connect from every runtime.
