Manifiesto Kawsay · digital sovereignty for the people
A community should own its own world.
LibreSynergy is a self-hosted community OS. One config, one command — and your community runs its own identity, chat, classroom, webinars, livestream and payments on hardware it controls. No monopoly in the loop. TLS terminates on your machine.
Manifiesto Kawsay
We do not ask permission.
Every platform you “use for free” owns your words, your audience and your attention. LibreSynergy flips the deal: the whole platform runs on community hardware, in the open, forkable by right.
“No pedimos permiso para gobernar nuestras propias herramientas, nuestros propios datos, ni nuestro propio futuro.” We do not ask permission to govern our own tools, our own data, or our own future.

Munay — the sovereignty of will
I. Individual sovereignty
Each person owns themselves completely: body, mind, data, work, keys. Privacy is not earned by having “nothing to hide” — it is the natural condition of a free person. Your device is your home, and no one enters without consent.
-
Ayni — the sovereignty of reciprocity
II. The common good
What we build, we build as commons: open source by default, forkable by right, belonging to everyone and no one. The measure of a tool is not the wealth it concentrates but the autonomy it distributes.

The stack
Everything a community needs. One login.
Free-software building blocks, pre-wired into one coherent platform behind one identity. Turn units on and off with a single flag.
One identity
Authentik SSO — passwordless email-code sign-in; one account for every app in your world.
Chat that federates
Matrix — encrypted rooms and DMs; your members talk to the whole open network, from your server.
Classroom
Frappe LMS — courses and cohorts, free for every member.
Webinars
Jitsi — live video rooms embedded right in your community app.
Livestream
OwnCast — OBS in, HLS out, live chat on your own watch page.
Payments you control
BTCPay Server and Monero on your own node — donations and operator payments in Bitcoin or private cash. Membership itself is free.
Mesh
Peer-to-peer WireGuard between communities, with attested peering — verify friend-or-foe before the tunnel.
Video on demand
Your own library — uploads transcoded and served from your box, no platform between you and your audience.
Reels
Short-form vertical video, self-hosted — the feed serves your community, not an algorithm.
Admin dashboard
Branding, sponsors, banners and announcements — run your world without touching a terminal.
Architecture
The sovereign relay
Reachable from the whole internet — without handing your traffic to anyone. A cheap VPS forwards encrypted bytes; it can never read them. Your keys never leave your hardware.
user ── TLS :443 ──► VPS relay (reads only the SNI name, NEVER decrypts) │ ▼ WireGuard tunnel your machine ("node"): Caddy — TLS terminates HERE, on your keys ├─ auth. chat. learn. meet. live. … └─ raw TCP too (game servers, :1935 RTMP)
EmbedX collaboration
Local AI agents, for society.
Together with EmbedX, LibreSynergy is building AI agents that live where your community lives: on hardware you own, under keys you hold. Intelligence that serves members — not a cloud that serves itself.
Runs at home
Agents run beside your community on your own machine — conversations, context and memory never leave the box. No per-token meter, no third-party cloud.
Provably yours
Every agent carries a signed runtime attestation — anyone can verify exactly what code is speaking before trusting it. The same attested-peering handshake our mesh uses.
A society of agents
Communities' agents meet across the mesh as verified peers — sharing knowledge, translation and introductions on their members' terms, peer to peer.
In active development with the EmbedX collaboration — follow along on GitHub.
Run your own
A spare machine. A $5 relay. A domain.
That’s the whole bill of materials. Three commands later, your community is online — on hardware you can touch.
# 1. get the stack git clone https://libresynergy.org/stack.git libresynergy-stack && cd libresynergy-stack # 2. brand it — set your domain, name, colors ./bin/ls init # creates libresynergy.env + generates secrets # 3. bring your community online ./bin/ls up # core: SSO + chat + classroom + webinars ./bin/ls up stream # + livestreaming ./bin/ls up payments # + memberships & donations # your world is yours.

The principles
Non-negotiables.
No tool governs us that we cannot read, audit, fork and run ourselves.
Sovereignty you rent is not sovereignty.
Above all, indigenous data sovereignty — CARE & OCAP principles.
Corruption dies in the light.
No hardware is obsolete because a corporation decided so.
In the valleys and the punas, our tools work without signal.
We build alternatives and migrate to them; we do not beg monopolies for better terms.
Transparency is not a promise — it is a property of the system.
Your world is yours.
