 # forge
-Self-hosted OS builds
+On-premises Universal Blue
 
-This repo is intended to provide the service units necessary to set up a self-hosted OS forge for custom images
+This repo is intended to provide the service units necessary to set up a self-hosted OS forge for custom images.
+
+Imagine something like a home lab or a university lab:
+
+1. Deploy forge
+2. Go into the webui, clone in your favorite uBlue repo and make changes
+3. Forge automatically starts to build and images
+4. PXE boot the clients, select ublue in the menu
+5. Eat tacos
+6. Return to a fully deployed lab with centralized package management
+
+### Components
+
+We need:
+
+- webui git frontend to replicate "self hosted ublue" 
+- a registry
+- a certificate authority
+- wireguard configs for all of it so people can self host their own personal mirror
