# Services
|
||
|
|
The services that are currently in active development are Northstar, and Interface.
|
||
|
|
However, here's a few more details about them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Northstar
|
||
|
|
- Repository :: [Source Code](https://github.com/forgeflux-org/northstar)
|
||
|
|
- OpenAPI :: [OpenAPI Specification](https://northstar.forgeflux.org/docs/openapi/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ForgeFlux allows for multiple interfaces to be run against a single software forge.
|
||
|
|
Also, the protocol is flexible enough to support multiple types of software forges(GitLab, GitHub, etc).
|
||
|
|
The protocol's decentralised nature makes it impossible to create a constant record of which interfaces service forges.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So we created a discovery service which stores records of interfaces and the forges they service.
|
||
|
|
This is very similar to the way DNS works.
|
||
|
|
In DNS, hostname is resolved to IP address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here, software forge URL is resolved to URLs of [interfaces](https://github.com/forgeflux-org/interface) that service the queried forge.
|
||

## Interface
|
||
|
|
- Repository :: [Source Code](https://github.com/forgeflux-org/interface)
|
||
|
|
- OpenAPI :: [OpenAPI Specification](https://github.com/forgeflux-org/interface/tree/master/docs/openapi)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Developing Free Software is about liberating users and giving them total control over how the programs they run should work.
|
||
|
|
It's only fair that developers of such software enjoy the same levels of liberty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ForgeFlux is an attempt to enable federation for major software forges (GitLab, GitHub, Gitea, Source Hut, etc) entirely in API-space.
|
||
|
|
We believe our API-space implementation will allow for more organic growth as it will not require any involvement from the forge developers.
