Core · Debian
Primary recommended music server platform. Dedicated x86-64 OS, audio transport and catalogue.
PLATFORMS & HARDWARE
Use the hardware you already own.
Brimstone development spans Debian, macOS and supported Control devices, with different qualification and release paths for each system.
THE PLATFORM
Three distinct roles.
Pick Core for playback, Store for dedicated library storage and Control as your interface.
Store · Debian
Separate, normally writable OS with its own installer, designed for library storage and services.
Control · Multiple devices
Web and client interfaces for computers and supported mobile/TV systems. Each client has its own beta status.
THE PLATFORM
Why reuse matters.
Great audio equipment should not become landfill because its control software stops receiving updates.
SECOND LIFE
Older machines still have a place.
Choose an appropriate supported system for dedicated listening, test on a spare machine and retain working hardware where possible.
