DOGEBOX is a NixOS distribution that runs the Dogebox Runtime Environment

Caution

Warning

Dogebox is currently in a pre-alpha developer preview. Do not use it for any production workloads, and definitely don't send any money to addresses generated by it.

This release contains an OVA-Compatible virtual machine image. This image contains the foundation of the dogebox machine, but does not supply any pre-existing pups or other tooling. This image is an x86_64 compatible image, aarch64 and other architectures will soon follow.

Please join our DogeDev discord server for discussion, suggestions, and support.

Tip

All VM images currently have an account shibe with a hardcoded password suchpass

New Features

Source Management

You can now add sources to your dogebox environment, which will then let you use/install pups from that source.

Pups

We now ship the source https://github.com/dogeorg/pups by default so that your explore experience has pups on install.

Dogecoin Core Pup

We have wrapped the dogecoin core daemon as a pup. This pup is capable of running a full node, and can be used to sync the dogecoin blockchain.

It provides interfaces that other pups can depend on, such as:

  • The core RPC interface
  • The core ZeroMQ interface

Coming Next Week

Pup Admin UI

The ability for a pup to expose a secure web UI of it's own, accessible through Dogebox.

Pup Health Checks

Support for pup health-checks that give more details about the running pup's status.

Gigawallet Pup

Coming early next week. Will talk to Core pup to provide wallet functionality to Dogebox.

Dogenet Pup

Dogenet is a multi-protocol dogecoin node that connects Dogeboxes and provides a peer-to-peer network and cryptographic transport for developers to build new features that work along side the current Dogecoin network.

DogeMap Pup

DogeMap is a visual map of the world, moon & mars that will show the network of Dogecoin & Dogenet nodes. This will form the basis of a global catalogue of vendors selling things in Dogecoin, as well as anything else the community might be interested in exploring.

Identity Pup

Identity adds the ability to add a profile to your Dogenet node, which will appear on the DogeMap, this will let you link to your Socials like X.com, GitHub, your website, or tell us about the Products you're selling in Dogecoin.
