Techstack is the optional orchestration and operator experience built on top of the StackKits CLI contract. StackKits continues to own stack definitions and the standalone lifecycle; Techstack adds guided configuration, runtime inventory, multi-server coordination, and governed Day-2 operations.
Techstack is currently an Alpha. The open-source Windows client supports the account-free local path, while the hosted entry at techstack.kombify.io and managed capabilities remain preview scope.

​
In plain words

Think of StackKits as the tool that sets up your own server. Techstack is an optional app on top that helps you configure it, see what runs on each server, and look after several servers together.

​
What you need first

For the Windows Alpha you need a Windows computer and a server in your home network. No kombify account is required for the local path.

​
What Techstack owns

  • Easy and Techie configuration flows that produce a StackSpec proposal
  • runtime and service inventory across registered servers
  • orchestration of a pinned, released StackKits CLI
  • review and execution of governed Day-2 operations
  • connected and managed placement workflows
Techstack does not redefine StackKit architectures, copy the StackKits catalog, or become a requirement for a local StackKit. The generated StackSpec still passes through the StackKits validation and execution boundary.

​
How it relates to StackKits

kombify Guard is Techstack’s server-side reliability and security component. It connects server identity, admitted operations and protection evidence. Its technical guide explains what a connected server, a secured configuration and a demonstrated recovery each establish. Removing Techstack must not make a standalone StackKit unusable. Start with the StackKits quickstart when you want an installation path that is publicly available today.

​
What to expect

Techstack is pre-1.0. You add each server as a Node, and every Node has a role in its StackKit. The simplest way to connect a server is the one-line pairing command. Some options depend on what your account has enabled.

​
If something goes wrong

If a server stays on Not connected yet, check the steps in Add a Node and Pairing command. Your StackKit keeps working without Techstack.

Next steps

Install Windows Alpha

Download the unsigned client and connect a server in your home network.
