Welcome to the Project Super documentation. Whether you are setting up your first process, orchestrating a complex edge topology, or migrating from legacy tools, this guide covers everything you need.
OSS vs Licensed — how to read this documentation
Project Super ships as one open-source binary (superd + super) — there are no separate installers or editions. Two run modes differ only by whether licensed plugins are loaded:
| OSS | Licensed | |
|---|---|---|
| Binary | superd + super (MIT, free) | Same binaries — nothing to reinstall |
| Plugins | none | [license].key + plugins/* from your subscription (Super Pro) |
| Adds | Core process management (incl. numprocs workers), OTA, health checks, cron, event hooks, embedded Dashboard shell, single-admin API auth | Multi-user tokens / RBAC / audit (security), cgroups limits (isolation, Linux), notifications (notify), Dashboard Pro extensions (ui plugin) |
| How to enable | install & run | add a license key and plugin libraries |
Pages mark licensed capabilities with 💎 / “Licensed”; “Super Pro” is the brand name of the commercial plugin set (Get Super Pro). The authoritative edition model, terminology, and switching guide live in Editions.
