A-Z Features
What QuoxCORE does, grouped by the job you want done.
Maturity: mixed, so Beta overall. Each section links to the page that states its own maturity. This page was re-checked against the QuoxCORE code (1b8bf54d) and the store catalogue on 2026-10-29. It deliberately gives no prices and no counts that drift. Prices live in the store.

Run your infrastructure (paid add-ons)
Each of these is a paid add-on from the store, where its current price is shown.
| Add-on | What it does |
|---|---|
| QuoxAgent Fleet | Connect and manage your other machines |
| QuoxBastion | Governed SSH access to those machines |
| Proxmox VE | Manage hypervisors and VMs |
| MikroTik RouterOS | Read and manage MikroTik routers |
| Prometheus, Uptime Kuma, Wazuh | Monitoring, uptime and security events |
| Docker Fleet, OpsDeck, Web Terminal | Containers, an ops console and a browser terminal |
| Core Comms, Action Tracker | Notifications and task tracking |

Choose your models
Quox does not include a model. Connect the providers you use: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Perplexity, OpenRouter, Groq, Together, Hugging Face, or a server on your own network (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM). Calls fail over to the next connected provider.
quox provider connect anthropic --key-from-stdin

Secure and administer
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Passwords | Hashed with Argon2; at least 12 characters with mixed character types |
| Single sign-on | SAML and OIDC |
| Roles | Built-in roles plus custom roles per organisation |
| Organisations | Accounts and data belong to an organisation; see Safety for isolation details |
Work from the terminal
The quox CLI drives the platform: chat, approvals, providers, fleet, workflows, evidence and setup. Every command can print plain text, JSON and other formats for scripts. See QuoxCLI.
Deploy and update
QuoxCORE runs as Docker Compose services on one server; see Install and deploy for the full list. Updates take a backup first and can roll back.
Limits
- Paid add-ons are paid. Anything under "Run your infrastructure" needs a purchase; check the store for price and maturity.
- Semantic (vector) memory search is Experimental. Memory today uses full-text search.
- Single sign-on covers SAML and OIDC. There is no LDAP connector.
- Maturity varies by feature. Each linked page, and its status-and-limits record, is the source of truth.
