In order to identify and link the operating system to your farm, you need to set your Farmer ID on the system.
You can find more information here.

Which release do you want ?

Zero-OS comes by default with 3 different running modes. Each mode has its own settings, own network and own purpose.
Please choose the release you want.

Production

The real network

Production releases are used for server ready to serve the real grid. This release is the most stable and optimized version we have.

This release is the only one you can use if you want to host real workflow.

Testing

Make it bulletproof

Before sending release over the real world, we want to ensure everything is bulletproof, rock solid and tested a lot. Averyy release we make before going in production, goes into this testing release and uses the same settings as production but on a separate network to not interfere with the real world.

These releases are made for people who want to test the system and help the community to improve the system.

Development

Crashtest

Our developers never stop to improve and add features to Zero-OS to make it even better. As soon as something has to be tested, this is done in development mode. This mode is the most unstable, but up-to-date, used to test and continuously develop the operating system.

You should use a development release only if you're developer or if someone told you to use this for specific reasons.

Choose your image format

EFI USB	Generate an USB image with EFI (UEFI) bootable kernel. This is the easiest way to go if your machine is EFI enabled. Any recent computer should support this out-of-box. To use this image, you'll need to erase and overwrite the complete USB Flash Drive. This image is a `'dd' able` image, it's made to be copy directly on your flash drive and not be used as a file. `...`	USB Image »
EFI IMG	Generate an EFI (UEFI) bootable image. This is the way to go if your machine is EFI enabled. Any recent computer should support this out-of-box.
