Urbit is a personal server for self-sovereign personal & networked computing. Nock, a functional combinator, is built into Hoon, a system programming language, used to implement Arvo, a deterministic operating system, that communicates over Ames, a decentralized, encrypted P2P network.

This app helps you boot and manage Urbit instances on your Umbrel. It provides a simple management GUI, start and stop operations, and passes your +code through the interface.

What's new

Version v4.3+2 months ago

vere-v4.3 is a minor release with the following highlighted fixes and features:

The runtime now supports gzip compression of http responses, causing significant speedups for the tlon app.
The windows build would immediately crash when receiving a directed messaging packet because of an improperly vendored libblake3 dependency.
The lmdb version used by vere-v4.2 and below did not support sparse files on windows, causing the event log to balloon to 63 GB immediately on boot.

Version v4.2+3 months ago

vere-v4.2 is a runtime release with the following highlighted changes:

Fix rare loom corruption caused by allocator bugs and longstanding signal handling issues.
Fix a regression in the vere 4 sort jet that caused it to behave as an unstable sort in some scenarios.
Fix a buffer overflow when adding bodies to eyre HTTP responses that should not have any (e.g. 204 responses).
Fix various bugs in scry-over-HTTP.
Introduce the %jinx hint to enable event computation timeouts.
Introduce the %loop hint to crash on obvious non-terminating loops, extending the use cases of the %memo hint.
Restore the Windows build.
Fix a regression where shutting down a ship would unmount all desks from the host system.

Note: After upgrading, users will need to unmount and mount any desks they want mounted once.

Version v4.0+6 months ago

vere-v4.0 is a major runtime release with the following highlighted features:

A completely rewritten allocator that reduces memory usage and decreases snapshot size.
The mars / urth split, a major refactor of the vere multiprocess architecture.
Stateful urwasm jets, improving on the stateless urwasm capabilities shipped with 410.
Restored compatibility with 2015-era Intel based macbooks. - Declare compatibility with the upcoming 409-k arvo release. - Support for the 409 “fastboot” brass pill that reduces ship initial boot time from minutes to seconds.
Support for the 409 spin hint that exposes a call stack for local performance monitoring.

Note that ships that upgrade to vere-v4.0 will be unable to downgrade runtime versions.

Version v3.5+6 months ago

vere-v3.5 is a minor runtime release with the following highlighted changes:

Fixes a false positive from double boot protection when there are multiple messages in flight. Fixes the -X argument that allows you to scry into a pier without starting it. Fixes a possibility for a race condition between vere io drivers and double boot protection. Better error messages when using outdated moon keys, remove dead urbit.org links and print when doing epoch rollover.

Version v3.2-1+12 months ago

This release is a rewrite of the Urbit Umbrel app with a modern frontend and monolithic self-contained backend.

vere-v3.2 brings the following highlighted features:

Compatibility with the upcoming zuse 410 kelvin release.
A directed messaging driver for 1-3 orders of magnitude faster networking performance.
Lagoon jets for native matrix math in Urbit.
Double boot protection to prevent the most common cause of irrecoverable ship failure.
Loom memory usage statistics in Arvo to help hosting providers and provide a foundation for zero click maintenance.
HTTP scry streaming for serving individual chunks of large files over HTTP.
Note that all these features are dependent on the 410k Arvo release.

Moon keyfiles generated with Arvo versions of 411 or above are not compatible with vere-v3.2. To recreate an old moon keyfile, upgrade Arvo to 410 first and then do |moon-cycle-keys <moon-name>. This only applies to the moon keyfiles, previously booted moons can upgrade to vere-v3.2 without issue.
