Arozos
Arozos is a web-based desktop environment that delivers a full graphical desktop, personal cloud storage, media streaming, and productivity tools entirely through a browser. It functions as a personal cloud server, providing a private file storage system with upload, organization, and retrieval capabilities, alongside a media streaming server for on-demand music and video playback. The platform also includes a web office suite for creating and editing text documents, a cloud IDE with code execution for writing and running code, and a 3D print file previewer for inspecting models before printing.
The system is built on a plugin-based modular architecture that extends functionality through dynamically loaded modules, each registering its own web interfaces and system services. An event-driven service bus coordinates inter-module communication through a publish-subscribe event system, enabling asynchronous workflows. User applications are isolated in separate processes with configurable CPU, memory, and disk quotas through process sandboxing, while all API and WebSocket connections are secured by a token-based authentication gateway using short-lived JWT tokens.
A virtual file system abstraction unifies local and remote storage backends under a single hierarchical namespace accessible through a standard file API. Media content is delivered to browsers using WebRTC-based peer-to-peer connections for low-latency playback without server-side transcoding, while the full desktop environment is streamed over persistent WebSocket connections that encode screen updates and input events.
