Getting started with the PointSav platform
The PointSav platform is an independently verifiable, operator-controlled software stack for commercial real estate intelligence, fleet management, and distributed compute. This guide orients new contributors and evaluators to the platform's main surfaces and the documentation structure.
Where to start
- Developer Platform — Developer Guide Catalog lists practical how-to guides grouped by task.
- Architecture — PPN Small-Business Compute and PPN VM Resource Pool Architecture introduce the compute substrate.
- Authorization model — Machine-Based Authorization describes pairing-as-permission, the device-identity model used across the platform.
- Data and GIS — GIS Orchestration Platform covers the location intelligence engine.
Prerequisites
- Access to a PointSav Private Network (PPN) node via pairing approval. See Machine-Based Authorization for the pairing model.
- Familiarity with command-line tooling. The platform has no graphical installer.
First steps
For an engineer opening the platform for the first time, a working session depends on four things falling into place: reachable node access over the WireGuard tunnel and fleet controller; familiarity with the three-node compute stack described in PPN Small-Business Compute (fleet controller, per-node agent, tenant proxy); the ability to spawn a VM through the tenant proxy; and the OS Console, the terminal interface used for provisioned VMs and platform management. The runnable, step-by-step version of this path lives in the Developer Guide Catalog.
This orientation covers where to start and the prerequisites for a first working session; a fuller walkthrough of the platform's surfaces is not yet written.
