[!IMPORTANT] Kodachi 10 is stable. Kodachi 10.0.3, code name Dragon, was released on 27.09.2026.
It is the first stable release of the 10 line, built on Debian 13 (Trixie), 64-bit with BIOS, UEFI and Secure Boot. The Desktop (XFCE) ISO, the Terminal / Server ISO and the Binary Pack all report the same version, and the signed stable APT channel carries it. Every image ships with SHA-256 / SHA-512 / MD5 checksums, a detached RSA-4096 signature and a release manifest.
Fresh install: grab the ISO from the Downloads Center and verify it before you boot it.
A Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04 system you already run: add the signed repository and install the full suite.
curl -fsSL https://kodachi.cloud/repo/setup.sh | sudo sh sudo apt update && sudo apt install kodachiAfter that,
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrademoves everything you installed to each new release. Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 are no longer supported by the stable packages (they need glibc 2.39). The beta track keeps going for people who want new work first, and switching between tracks in either direction is covered on the Downloads Center.
Three editions, one security core. Pick by how you want to run it.
| Edition | What it is | Get it |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop (Debian XFCE) | The full experience: five dashboards, the Cairo Dock, every security binary pre-integrated. About 4.2 GB. | Stable ISO · Beta ISO · Guide |
| Terminal Server | Lightweight ISO, all binaries pre-configured, no desktop. For servers and headless boxes. About 3 GB. | Stable ISO · Beta ISO · Guide |
| Binaries / APT | Add Kodachi's tools, and the dashboard GUI, to a Debian 13 or Ubuntu 24.04 system you already run, from the signed APT repository. | Install instructions |
Everything lives on the Downloads Center, including the install instructions for each edition, the apt repository setup, live download trends and by-country stats. Verify what you downloaded before you boot it, and check your system is current after you do.
