September 2020 update

Community Solid Server is open software
to provide people with their own data pod.

It also will give developers an environment
to create and test new Solid applications.

Community Solid Server has been designed
with a highly modular architecture.

Deploy the server in the configuration you need!
Want to change functionality?
- No need to change the server’s code!
- Just write a module and plug it in.
Developers can build their own modules
and share them with the world.
- wired together by JSON(-LD) files

Let’s fire up a live server
and try a couple of things.

We released v0.1.0 today!
- Not yet for testing or production!
- But play around and have a look at the code.
It has streaming read and write of RDF data,
but no authentication yet.
- …but that’s just a module that needs implementing 😉
Try out the demo steps yourself.

You are most welcome to
look at the code and start building.

The repository is on GitHub:
github.com/solid/community-server
There are some good first issues
for you to get started 🚀
