Sovereign repositories
Sovereign uses a small set of first-party repositories. This page is the canonical map for what each repository owns, whether it is active or archived, and which docs should point to it.
Core repositories
| Repository | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
sovereignfs/sovereign | Active | Primary platform repository: runtime, auth app, packages, built-in platform plugins, docs, RFCs, and roadmap. |
sovereignfs/sovereign-legacy | Archived | Previous Sovereign codebase. Kept for historical reference and migration context only; new work happens in sovereignfs/sovereign. |
Plugin repositories
| Repository | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
sovereignfs/sovereign-plugin-template | Active template | Canonical standalone plugin starter repository. Use this when creating a plugin outside the monorepo. |
sovereignfs/sovereign-plugins-examples | Active | Example plugins demonstrating basic, API provider, minimal shell, monetized, and overlay app patterns. The platform bundles these at build/install time as hidden-by-default examples. |
sovereignfs/sovereign-tasks | Active | Default bundled Tasks plugin. It is a real product plugin, visible from first boot, and versioned independently of the platform. |
sovereignfs/sovereign-plainwrite | Active | Default bundled Plainwrite plugin — a git-backed content editor for static site generators. It is a real product plugin, visible from first boot, and versioned independently of the platform. |
Documentation and deployment support
| Repository | Status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
sovereignfs/storybook | Active deployment target | GitHub Pages repository for the built @sovereignfs/ui Storybook static site, served at sovereignfs.github.io/storybook. Source stories live in this primary repository under packages/ui. |
sovereignfs/sovereign-infra | Active template | Operator-owned self-hosting template for Ubuntu VPS deployments: Caddy, Docker Compose, age-encrypted .env files, matching-tag deploys of official Sovereign images, and GitHub Actions CI/CD. No Terraform or managed-cloud dependency. |
sovereignfs/sovereignfs.github.io | Active deployment target | GitHub Pages repository for the public VitePress docs site at sovereignfs.github.io. Source docs live in this primary repository under docs/. |

Edit source stories and docs insovereignfs/sovereign.sovereignfs/sovereign-infrais a template that operators fork or use as a GitHub template. The platform repository publishes release images; the operator's infra repository controls when those images are deployed to the operator's VPS.- Historical planning docs may mention older candidate repositories such as Splitify, API Composer, or PaperTrail. They are not part of the current support-repository set unless this page is updated.
