Kunuleco Documentation¶
Kunuleco is a platform for creating private digital spaces you actually own. The name comes from Esperanto: kunuleco means "fellowship", the experience of being together with people who matter to you. It is not a social network; it is infrastructure for genuine connection: small groups, trusted circles, real conversations.
Your space does not live on someone else's server. It runs on your machine, as a node, under your control. Four ideas hold the whole system together:
- You own your space. Your identity is a cryptographic key on your own machine. No platform issued it; no platform can revoke it.
- Invite-only by design. There are no public directories and no discovery feeds. People reach you because you handed them an invite.
- Multiple paths to connect. Local network, Tor, Veilid, or IPFS. If one route is blocked, others remain.
- Capability-based security. Access comes from holding an unforgeable token, not from being on a list. Being present somewhere and being able to do things there are separate decisions.
Kunuleco is in closed alpha
These docs are public, but downloads are currently limited to alpha testers. If you are testing, your welcome note has the download link and credentials. If you would like to take part, reach out via kunul.eco. See What to expect from the alpha before you rely on anything.
Where to start¶
- Getting started: install, create your identity, make your first Hall, and bring people in.
- Concepts: the ideas underneath: identity, spaces, trust, and how nodes reach each other.
- Command reference: the verbs, in one place.
- Alpha testing: what "alpha" means here and how to report problems.
- The User Manual: the complete manual as a single page, the same one the app ships with: every concept, every how-to, the full command reference and glossary.
