The heart of KUBO

KUBO Offline Server

One small server powers the whole lab: the offline library and tools for every seat, backups of critical data, and the school platform.

One server behind the lab and the platform

Every KUBO lab runs on one server. It serves the offline library and tools to every seat, and backs up critical data to the cloud whenever there is a connection, even a weak one. It starts on a Raspberry Pi and scales up to whatever hardware a school's needs call for.

Offline first

The whole library without internet

Kolibri, Kiwix and the classroom tools run from the server to every seat, so a class never waits on the internet.

Safe data

Critical data backed up automatically

When a connection is available, the server syncs critical data to the cloud, so the things that matter stay safe and recoverable.

Scalable

Starts small and grows with your school

Begin with a single Raspberry Pi. As needs grow, move the server to bigger hardware, and nothing else in the lab has to change.

What it serves, offline

A library most schools with internet would envy, fully offline and reachable from any device with WiFi: the lab's desktops, a laptop, a tablet, a phone. Straight in the browser, nothing to install. Your school picks what fills its server:

  • Wikipediathe full encyclopedia
  • Khan Academycourses & exercises
  • PhETscience simulations
  • CK-12textbooks
  • African Storybookchildren's books
  • TEDTED-Ed talks & lessons
  • Project Gutenbergclassic books
  • World mapbuilt on OpenStreetMap

Served by the two leading open-source projects for offline learning:

Kolibri

Kolibri, Learning Equality's offline learning platform, integrated with our school platform's Learn module.

Kiwix

Kiwix, which puts entire reference libraries offline, from Wikipedia to Project Gutenberg.

The world map builds on OpenStreetMap. Logos and content belong to their respective projects.

And it runs the school platform

The server comes with the KUBO school platform pre-configured, just a click to activate. It is the software that runs the whole school: grades, term reports, timetables, attendance and health records, with a login for everyone, from the head teacher to each student.
