LATTICE: HIVE MIND
Signed OpenZero Hive coordination with Hive HQ, federation mirrors, and local continuity spooling so the lattice can survive operator or database loss.

LEGACY ZEROMINT ISO // OPTIONAL PATH
The legacy ZeroMint ISO remains available for operators who want OpenZero preloaded on a Linux Mint base image. OpenZero itself is the core platform and can also install cleanly on standard Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, or Kali systems.
Run the one-line installer for the normal path, or use the ISO only when you specifically want a preloaded image.
FREEWEBPANEL WEB SERVER LANE
Turn a ZeroMint AIOS node into a public hosting server.
FreeWebPanel now has a dedicated OpenZero AIOS installer for ZeroMint and Linux Mint machines. Use this lane when an AIOS server should also host websites, DNS, SSL, mail, databases, file manager access, customer panels, and server-side web services without treating the machine like a blank VPS.
Cloudflare DNS first
web.domain.com A record to the server IPv4
ns1.web.domain.com A record to the same IPv4
ns2.web.domain.com A record to the same IPv4
Keep all three records DNS-only / grey cloud
AIOS hosting example
web.example.com -> your server IPv4
ns1.web.example.com -> your server IPv4
ns2.web.example.com -> your server IPv4
Use your own nameserver hostnames for customer domains on the AIOS web node.
Connect machines you control without leaking private chats. Hive publishes node status and federation metadata by default; chat knowledge only becomes public when the operator manually approves a filtered share.
LOCAL-FIRST BY DEFAULT: Nodes can run standalone, federate with trusted Hive mirrors, or continue locally when a remote endpoint is unavailable.
OPERATOR APPROVAL: Knowledge sharing stays manual, redacted, and filtered unless the operator explicitly enables a safer automation mode.
HIVE HQ // FEDERATION // LOCAL CONTINUITY
OpenZero 5.4 now separates the node from the coordination layer. A node can run against one Hive HQ, fan out to backup federation mirrors, or keep recording continuity data locally until a new Hive comes online. If one operator disappears, the nodes do not become worthless bricks.
STANDALONE
One Hive HQ. Best for first-time operators who want a simple path.
FEDERATED
One Hive HQ plus backup mirrors. Writes fan out, failed writes queue locally, and the lattice can be replayed later.
LOCAL CONTINUITY
No remote Hive required. The node keeps its own spool until trusted operators stand up a replacement Hive.

BEGINNER PATH // NO COMMAND-LINE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED
Install OpenZero with one line, open the local panel at http://localhost:1024, switch Hive on for node status, keep chat sharing on manual approval, paste your Hive HQ URL, and leave Local Continuity enabled. When trusted backup operators exist, change the mode to FEDERATED and paste their mirror URLs. That is enough to keep the network portable without turning private chats into public Hive data.
For a machine that must survive fully offline with no internet at all, use one connected OpenZero node to build the air-gap bundle, move openzero_offline_release.tar.gz by USB or LAN, and run ./install_offline.sh on the target.
OpenZero can operate with elevated local privileges. Version 5.4 adds tamper-evident ethics locks, encrypted local vault files, and signed Hive contributions, but a system owner with full disk access can still replace files. Treat the platform as hardened and auditable, not magically immutable.
