# CMai OS

> CMai OS (Server Edition) is a licensed, always-on development server operating system that ships with four AI tools preinstalled — CMai (the CMai API: one key, every model) · Claude Code · Gemini CLI · Kimi CLI. It is our own Linux distribution for AI development servers: our own kernel configuration, a signed update channel, our own ISO. Every user works in their own workspace, isolated with rootless podman, and projects are published on an automatic subdomain of the server's domain with a TLS certificate. Vendor: CM Apps (Turkey). Languages: English (/en/) and Turkish (/). Architecture: amd64 only.

## Product summary

- What it is: an operating system you install on your own server (VPS, bare-metal or a virtual machine); the idea is "stop leaving your laptop running — put it all on one server".
- AI: CMai · Claude Code · Gemini CLI · Kimi CLI. CMai is the enterprise AI platform built by CMApps (https://cmai.tr): chat, image, audio-video and embeddings behind one standard API (OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions; docs at https://docs.cmai.tr/docs), with credit management and live monitoring. A single key taken from https://app.cmai.tr/customer/keys is entered in the wizard and written into every user's workspace as CMAI_API_KEY / CMAI_BASE_URL (https://gw.cmai.tr/v1) plus OPENAI_API_KEY / OPENAI_BASE_URL mirrors; in the workspace, the `cmai` command (or `cmai code`) starts CMai CLI, the CMai coding agent that lives in the terminal, on the cmai-pro model (7 models: cmai-pro 200K, cmai-balanced 200K, cmai-fast 128K, cmai-vision 1M, cmai-av 1M; embeddings cmai-embed-small and cmai-embed-large 8K). CMai CLI (@cmapps/cmai-cli) is preinstalled and connects automatically with the server's key (CMAI_API_KEY / CMAI_MODEL / CMAI_BASE_URL); it has automatic memory, skills, sub-agents and MCP support; `cmai -p "…"` runs a one-shot command, `cmai mcp add …` adds an MCP server, and a CMAI.md at the project root gives standing instructions; settings persist under /workspace/.cmai; to install it on your own machine, `npm install -g https://cmai.tr/downloads/cmai-cli-latest.tgz`. Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Kimi CLI run on your own account or API key (BYOK); Claude Code does not run through the CMai API. AI usage fees (CMai credits or your own provider account) are not included in the CMai OS licence.
- Isolation: a rootless podman container per user, with HOME=/workspace persistent; CPU, RAM, disk and process quotas per user.
- Publishing: when a project is published, a subdomain opens under the server's domain and a TLS certificate is obtained automatically.
- Installation: an unattended ISO; it takes the whole of the selected disk; BIOS and UEFI are both supported; on first boot the console card shows the https://<ip>:8443 address and a one-time setup code.
- Administration: a local panel (https://<ip>:8443) and the host admin CLI `cmai` (`cmai license status|activate|renew|deactivate`, `cmai user add|start|stop|rm|shell`, `cmai update check|apply|channel`, `cmai doctor`, `cmai banner`, `cmai setup code`).
- Security (military-grade encryption standards — AES-256 / Ed25519 / TLS 1.3): licences and updates are Ed25519-signed; all traffic is encrypted with TLS 1.2+/1.3; SSH is key-based (password login switches off automatically once a key is added); the nftables firewall is default-deny; fail2ban is on; every user gets an isolated rootless workspace (read-only rootfs, cap-drop ALL, no-new-privileges, quotas); keys stay on the server, root-only.
- Licensing: online activation (key format CMAI-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX); the key binds to the server and is verified online; if the licence becomes invalid the server enters lock mode — no data is deleted, and a new key reopens it without a reinstall.
- Plans and pricing (monthly, USD, excl. VAT; AI usage not included — BYOK): Trial free (14 days, 1 user, 1 server, no credit card); Solo $29/mo (1 user, 1 server); Team $99/mo (5 users included, $19/mo per extra user, up to 20 users on one server); Enterprise quoted, from $499/mo per server (20+ users, multiple servers, unlimited users per server, priority support). Licensing is per server. To buy or request a quote: isgelistirme.ortaklik@cmapps.com.tr (online checkout coming); trial key: https://portal.cmaios.com/
