Tech stack
Orbit is one repository with separate projects. Each project has its own dependencies, tests, and lock file.Projects
Each project in the repository uses the stack in this table.Platform
Service Nodes run Ubuntu 26.04. macOS Nodes support selected Homebrew formulae, casks, and Vite+ global tools through SSH, without service roles. macOS system updates and firewall management are outside this support. On Ubuntu, Orbit runs services natively under systemd: Caddy serves HTTP and HTTPS, PHP-FPM runs PHP from a pinned Sury apt source, and WireGuard carries the private network. Docker runs container Processes, such as shared databases and Plausible, and themetrics role’s Prometheus and Grafana. Reverb on the websocket Node carries realtime events. Mintlify publishes this documentation.
Checks
Pest, Pint, Larastan, PHPStan, and Rector check the PHP projects. Vitest and Playwright check the web app, and Vitest checks the Pi server. Cargo’sfmt, clippy, and test check the Node agent. Bun and Rust projects shows how to run these checks. Incus provides disposable Linux machines for end-to-end tests. GitHub Actions runs the checks for every pull request. See the contributor guide for the local workflow.
