What it is and is not
It is an endpoint operating system for the Beagle provisioning path. It is not a general-purpose workstation OS and does not aim to expose a normal desktop environment for unrelated tasks.
Endpoint OS
Purpose-built for one job: boot, connect, stream
The Beagle endpoint operating system is Debian-based and follows a custom -beagle kernel package path. It is designed to boot directly into Moonlight against an assigned VM instead of exposing a general-purpose desktop.
Boot sequence
- Power on the endpoint.
- Boot the Beagle image in live or installed runtime mode.
- Apply the VM-specific profile and endpoint identity state.
- Launch Moonlight directly against the assigned Sunshine VM.
- Maintain runtime services, USB control, and policy state through the control plane.
Image types
- ISO - installer path for local disk deployment
- IMG - direct flash image for repeatable endpoint media
- QCOW2 - virtual-machine image for validation and testing
Endpoint identity
The control plane manages hostname, timezone, locale, keymap, and a persistent browser profile per endpoint. This keeps the endpoint behavior aligned with its assignment and policy state.
Residential egress
Beagle supports direct, split, and full egress modes through a WireGuard exit. This lets endpoints and VM interactions follow a controlled egress policy without changing the overall product path.
