Operator Guide

This section is for people who want to run their own venue — a node on the Covia Grid that hosts operations, runs agents, and persists state. Running a venue lets you control local resources, install custom adapters, hold your own data, and federate with other venues under your own governance.

Operators remain fully in control of their own infrastructure, resources, and data. Each venue decides its own access policy and keeps its data where it is governed.

In this guide​

  • Venue Quick Start — get a venue running locally, via Docker, or from source, and point clients at it.
  • Authentication — public access, OAuth login providers, and bearer/UCAN tokens.
  • Persistence — how venue state is stored, the durability model, and recovery.
  • Capabilities — the authorisation model you enforce on callers
  • Adapters — the operations a venue can offer
  • Venues — what a venue is, conceptually
