Community
Welcome to the TunaOS community! Whether you are a user, contributor, or curious, here is how to participate.
Donate AI CLI time
Lend your AI CLI through Hive — no code needed.
Hive coordinates AI coding agents across TunaOS's two official hives: School for OS and builds, and Reef for apps. The setup on the hub starts one ClankeR relay and runs one task at a time. It alternates eligible hives after each task. If one is empty or unavailable, the other continues. hive.tunaos.org is School's alias, not a third hive.
You use a local, signed-in AI CLI and a container. Your provider's subscription quota or API charges apply. The guide explains the prerequisites, credential and container limits, and how to stop with Ctrl+C. Keep account secrets and API keys private; never send them to maintainers.
