Component list

The laitos program offers a large selection of components for you to explore! A program component belongs to one of the three categories:

• Apps - reading news and Emails, check out the weather, etc.
  • Some apps do not require manual configuration and are always enabled.
• Daemons - web/mail/DNS servers, chat bots, etc. Many daemons are capable of accepting app command input and allow command execution protected by a password.
• Web services - HTML-based utilities, web-hooks for integration with 3rd party services, etc.

Also, check out laitos terminal for a terminal-UI of some of the apps.
