Dragons
Meet the Dragons
Each Dragon is a practical guide to one domain on Saphira Linux: what it does, how to set it up, and how to run it on infrastructure you control. No dashboards, no SaaS, no per-seat billing, just documented work you can do yourself.
One page, eight dragons
The header used to carry a link per dragon. That was six menus too many, so they now live here: one Dragons page with every dragon, each with its own introduction and a link to the full guide.
Nothing else changed. Every dragon page is exactly where it was, under the same address it always had.
The dragons
Eight domains, eight guides. Each card opens the full dragon page.
