🐪 Prepare this camel
Choose what this Linux machine should help preserve, accept the short host contract, and download one launcher made for those choices. When you execute it, the launcher verifies the signed FCF release, installs the current CENTL Oasis release, enrolls the machine, assigns its live Caravan number, and starts the outbound heartbeat.
No repository checkout or Tailscale membership is required. The launcher uses ordinary HTTPS by default; Tor is optional.
Choose the FCF-approved provisions
These choices filter authenticated FCF-approved cargo only. They never authorize arbitrary files, uploads, or software.
Short host contract
By joining, you choose to contribute bounded storage, bandwidth, and availability to authenticated FCF public-approved material. Your home files are never cargo. The carrier runs rootless, opens no public inbound port, accepts no arbitrary uploads, and publishes no hostname, username, IP address, or public node listing. You may leave with fcf-caravan-withdraw.
Read the complete CARAVAN host policy
Your downloaded launcher contains the exact provisions and route you selected. It does not execute automatically: you review the downloaded file and run it on your Linux machine.
After execution, the welcome message reports everything installed, the provisions accepted, your live Caravan number, funding links, and other ways to help. Funding is optional: support FCF, preserve source and releases, test the carrier, improve documentation, review policy, or report bugs.
