Infrastructure

Different company, same underlying platform.

Packet Press is the public demonstration tenant for Company OS: software that lets an owner run more than one isolated company on a single Linux host, with policy before action and receipts after action.

What Company OS is

Not a chatbot. Not hosted SaaS. Not a claim that Packet Press has customers. It is an operating layer around agents:

Authority

Who may act, by role, inside one company.

Governance

CLEAR / HOLD / DENY / STOP before irreversible work.

Isolation

One company, one directory, one database, one token.

Evidence

Receipts and artifacts an owner can read later.

This table is copied from a sanitized snapshot. It is not the operator console.

If you want to install Company OS yourself

You do not need Packet Press, Money Hunter, or this laboratory. You need Linux and Python 3.11+.

bash scripts/install.sh
# then open http://127.0.0.1:8760/ on that same machine
# the installer prints a local token file (chmod 600). Do not paste it into chat.

Create a company, keep bind = loopback, and try a publish that should HOLD. That is the product. Dashboards are not published to the public internet from this site.

Do not look for a public Packet Press control panel. If you were sent a LAN URL and a token, that is a private operator surface, not this website.
