HyperionOS

HyperionOS is a modular, hybrid kernel operating system written entirely in Lua. It features a custom task scheduler, virtual filesystem, syscall interface, and separates core functionality from user-space services.

Building

See building.md.

Features

Functionality is split into kernel modules (.kmod)
Task-based lightweight thread/task preemptive scheduler with process isolation and IPC support
Virtual filesystem
TTY & Shell
Sockets

Kernel Modules

Modules are loaded in priority order from /lib/modules/.

You can add your own .kmod files to extend kernel functionality without modifying the core.

Debugging & Logging

The kernel logs to /var/log/syslog.log during runtime. you can add to it by doing syscall.log(text, tag, color)

Contributing

Contributions are welcome, though please follow these guidelines:

No AI-generated kernel code, keep the core human written.
Modularize, new features should go into kernel modules where possible.
Document, update comments and docs when adding/changing functionality.
Test, ensure your changes don’t break existing functionality.

Add your name to contributors.md when your PR is merged.
