Running offline or air-gapped

TurtiniOS is built to run with no internet at all — the disconnected case is the design center, not an afterthought.

Why it works offline:
Everything Turtini needs is on the machine. The app, its services, and its data layer all run locally. The data layer is a sovereign, Turtini-owned system-of-record that speaks the same interface the app already expects — so the web app, real-time updates, and server-side logic all function identically whether or not there's a link. There's no dependency on any external cloud.

Fleet without the cloud:
TurtiniOS machines find each other on the local network, verify each other's identity, and pool into one fleet — so you can run and manage VMs across several boxes with nothing reaching outside your network.

Updates offline:
Instead of pulling from the internet, an air-gapped site serves updates from a local mirror. The same atomic, self-healing update mechanism applies.

Reconnecting:
If and when a link becomes available, TurtiniOS can reconcile local changes back to the cloud — but it never requires a link to keep operating. You're never blocked by connectivity.

This is what makes TurtiniOS suitable for governments, regulated environments, ships, remote sites, and anywhere a hard network boundary is a requirement rather than an inconvenience.
