Elderbrain turns an x86-64 PC into a minimal Ubuntu Server tabletop appliance: Docker services start, a native Wayland kiosk starts, and two independent Chromium profiles open the configured table views. The ISO carries the OS installer and appliance configuration, not Mindflayer server source. On first boot it requires Internet access and pulls the pinned mindflayervtt/server runtime image. Foundry binaries and credentials are never included.

boot it, and deliberately select Install Mindflayer Elderbrain. That selection
authorizes an unattended installation. See build,
installation, production releases, and
administration.
The appliance exposes SSH on 22, Traefik web access on 80/443, and the intentionally LAN-facing keypad protocol on 10443. See testing; documentation does not claim unperformed hardware validation.
This project does not distribute a prebuilt Elderbrain installation ISO.
The ISO is created by modifying an official Ubuntu Server installer image. While the build tooling is provided here, redistributing a modified Ubuntu image is subject to Canonical's licensing and trademark policies.
To avoid redistributing Canonical's installer media, users build the Elderbrain ISO locally from an official Ubuntu Server ISO using the scripts in this repository.
