DogOS Filestructure

The Filestructure will have 2 main drives: 0 and 1

The 0 drive will hold critical files needed by the system, like user information and system files.

The 1 drive will hold all the main files, this is the directory that the user will be able to access.

Drive 0

Drive 0 has the following system files:

• system.ini : System Information and Config
• users.ini : User Information

These files will be explained below...

system.ini

system.ini holds critical system information like paths, roles, versions, etc. Without it, we wouldn't be able to find stuff.

Here is a example file:

[SYSTEM]
OS=DOGOS_DEBUG|DEBUG|0.0.1
PATH=1:/dogos
TEMP=1:/dogos/temp
TMP=1:/dogos/temp
DIR=1:/dogos
INSETUP=0
ROLES=SYSTEM-0:ROOT-1:ADMIN-2:USER-3:GUEST-4

• OS - Operating System Name and Version
• PATH - System Path's
• TEMP:TMP - System Temporary Variables
• DIR - DogOS Directory
• INSETUP - Is the Operating System inside setup?
• ROLES - System Roles

users.ini

users.ini holds user information needed for system processes, root access, and users on the system.

Here is a example file:

[:USERS]
SYSTEM=
ROOT=
USEREXAMPLE=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

[SYSTEM]
USERNAME=SYSTEM
ROLE=0:1:2:3

[ROOT]
USERNAME=root
ROLE=1:2:3

[USEREXAMPLE]
USERNAME=UserExample
ROLE=3

Note how ROLES only use the roles id from system.ini. This is so if a role gets renamed for some reason, it does not need to be updated here.

• :USERS
  • The :USERS key follows a key value pair.
  • Keys are the username in all caps
  • Values are passwords, hashed and salted with SHA-256. This is for user security.
  • There are two users already made that are needed to run the system
    • SYSTEM
    • ROOT
• Username Keys
  • Username keys are just extra information about the user.
    • USERNAME : Case Sensitive username, mostly for displaying purposes.
    • ROLE: The user's role, saved as a role id.

Drive 1

Drive 1 holds other system files like user directories, applications, config files, etc. This could be compared to the Windows C drive.

config

Holds config files for applications globally. This could be compared to the Unix etc folder.

dogos

Holds system files, apps, and other information about the Operating System. This could be compared to the Windows folder.

home

This holds user's files. This could be compared to the Unix home folder or the Window's Users folder. View the 1/home folder to check out how that directory tree is formed.

Final Thoughts

That's the planned filestructure for DogOS. Any improvements are welcome, just make a fork and pull request.
