Coffee Server & the crib stack

A guided tour of the real pieces under COFFEE-PRO/coffee-server: one coordinator process, Vault (storage sidecar), Keyman (who gets in), sidecars (long-lived services), and Moo (short jobs). These are controlled, learnable versions of patterns you see in production homelabs and cloud — not a full datacenter course.

Prerequisite vibe: Coffee Home & the Home Cloud (LAN, ports, owning your stack). When Coffee Server is running inside your Coffee install, open the dashboard and POC tiles below — no separate “dev server” step.
