In the following, we'll explain in more detail two scenarios: how to deploy MirageOS unikernels using the infrastructure we provide, how to bootstrap and run the infrastructure for yourself. Afterwards we briefly describe how to reproduce a package, and what are our core packages and their relationships.
## Brief robur and MirageOS introduction
MirageOS is an operating system, developed in OCaml, which produces unikernels. A unikernel serves a single purpose and is a single process, i.e. only has the really needed dependencies. For example, an OpenVPN endpoint does neither include persistent storage (block device, file system) nor user management. MirageOS unikernels are developed in OCaml, a statically typed and type-safe programming language - which avoids common pitfalls from the grounds up (spatial and temporal memory safety issues).
[Robur](https://robur.coop) is a collective that develops MirageOS and OCaml software with open source license. It was started in 2017, and is part of the non-profit company [center for the cultivation of technology](https://techcultivation.org). We received funding from several projects (prototypefund, NGI pointer), donations, and some commercial contracts.
## For someone who wants to run MirageOS unikernels
To run a MirageOS unikernel on your laptop or computer with virtualization extensions (VT-x - KVM/BHyve), you can first install solo5-hvt as a [package](https://builds.robur.coop/job/solo5-hvt/) (take which fits your distribution), and [albatross](https://builds.robur.coop/job/albatross/).
