Reference: how our own machines get built

The Belken Workstation stack, the fourteen services, the ports they land on, and the three commands that prove it is really up. This is the internal build the failures above came out of, published as reference rather than as a product.

Hit something that is not written down

Send us the error text and what you ran before it. If the fix survives a second machine, it goes on the troubleshooting page with your symptom attached, so the next person searching that error string finds it.

Failure index

Fourteen ways it went wrong before it went right.

Grouped by the stage of the install where each one bites. Every entry names the error you will see rather than describing it in general terms.

Product pages

What each thing is, and who it is for.

The pages above are the free half. These are the things you can actually buy or book.

How these pages get written

Nothing lands here from a template.

A page gets written when something breaks on the fleet, we find the cause, and the fix survives a second machine. That is why the troubleshooting page reads like a list of specific errors instead of general advice.
