IOTA
A lightweight, Rust-based TUI and service orchestrator for Tensamin IOTA. Iota manages users and stores their messages and communities. It can be run in a centralised, decentralised or hybrid mode.
The Iota is a work in progress.
Terminal themes
The TUI defaults to the ANSI theme. Select a theme for one invocation with --theme:
iota --theme monospace
iota --theme binary status
The available names are monospace, binary, ansi, and surface. Theme selection uses this precedence: --theme, IOTA_THEME, then ui.yaml in Iota's configuration directory. For example:
IOTA_THEME=surface iota
On Linux, the configuration file defaults to ~/.config/iota/ui.yaml (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/iota/ui.yaml when set):
theme: surface
An invalid ui.yaml value is reported and Iota falls back to ANSI so the TUI can still start.
Linux daemon installation
The system-managed daemon runs as the dedicated iota account and listens on
/run/iota/iota.sock through socket activation. Operator access is granted
through the iota-operators group. After installing, add an account with:
usermod -aG iota-operators USER
The user must start a new login session before supplementary group membership
is visible. IOTA_SOCKET remains authoritative for custom deployments.
