The current arozos is still under intense development. System structure might change at any time. Please only develop on the current existing ArOZ Gateway Interface (AGI) JavaScript Interface or standard HTML webapps with ao_module.js endpoints.
- Web Desktop Interface (Better than Synology DSM)
- Ubuntu remix Windows style startup menu and task bars
- Clean and easy to use File Manager (Support drag drop, upload etc)
- Simplistic System Setting Menu
- No-bull-shit module naming scheme
- FTP Server
- WebDAV Server
- UPnP Port Forwarding
- Samba (Supported via 3rd party sub-services)
- WiFi Management (Support wpa_supplicant for Rpi or nmcli for Armbian)
- Mount / Format Disk Utilities (support NTFS, EXT4 and more!)
- Virtual File System Architecture
- File Sharing (Similar to Google Drive)
- Basic File Operations with Real-time Progress (Copy / Cut / Paste / New File or Folder etc)
- Require as little as 512MB system memory and 8GB system storage
- Base on one of the most stable Linux distro - Debian
- Support for Desktop, Laptop (touchpad) and Mobile screen sizes
Require GO 1.14 or above (See Instllation tutorial)
Run the following the command to build the system
git clone https://github.com/tobychui/arozos
cd ./arozos/src/
go build
./arozos
#sudo ./arozos for enabling hardware and WiFi management features
(Yes, it is that simple)
If you are using Raspberry Pi as your host, you can download one of the images and flash the image into your SD card. You will find a new network device named "ArozOS (ARxxx)" pop up in your "Network Neighbourhood". Double click the icon and you will be redirect to the system Web setup interface. If you cannot find the new device in your network, you can also connect to the ArozOS directly via http://{raspberry_pi_ip_address}:8080/
Yes, the download site is in Russia. No, I am not Russian, I use this site because they offer 80GB of storage for free All the image listed above require 8GB or above microSD card
To optain the .img file, you can unzip the compressed image using 7zip. If you don't have it, you can get it here
Download the correct architecture binary from the "release" tab and upload the binary with the "web" and "system" folder in "/src". After upload, you should have the following file structure
$ ls
arozos_linux_arm64 web system
Start the binary by calling sudo ./arozos_linux_arm64 (or without sudo if you prefer no hardware management)
If you are deploying on Windows, you need to add ffmpeg to %PATH% environment variable.
This system can be built and run on Windows hosts with the following build instructions
# Download the whole repo as zip and cd into it
cd .\arozos\src\
go build
arozos.exe
However, not all features are available for Windows.
Thanks Saren for creating this amazing DockerFile

See documentation for more examples.
If you are deploying single machine, you can visit System Setting > Disk & Storage > Storage Pools and edit the "system" storage pool for setting up the global storage pools for all users in the system.
If you are deploying on multiple machines, you can take a look at the storage configuration file located in:
src/system/storage.json.example
Rename the storage.json.example to storage.json and start arozos. The required virtual storage drives will be mounted accordingly.
The ArOZ AJGI / AGI interface provide a javascript programmable interface for ArOZ Online users to create
plugin for the system. To initiate the module, you can place a "init.agi" file in the web directory of the module
(also named the module root). See more details in the .
If you are looking for other WebApps (Installed via System Setting) or subservices (Require SSH login to install, for OEM only), please take a look at our collections over here: https://github.com/aroz-online/WebApp-and-Subservice-Index
You can reach the authors using Telegram! We welcome all kind of feedbacks and questions.
