Reference SDKs

A curated collection of workshop components built with SDKcraft — composable, multi-base, multi-architecture.

---

Overview

Each SDK is a workshop component — a building block that can be added to a workshop to set up a specific part of the development environment. Combine multiple SDKs (e.g. uv + CUDA + Ollama) to assemble a complete, tailored workshop with persistent caches, configurations, and build artifacts across sessions.

Project Structure

Each SDK follows a consistent layout:

<name>-sdk/
├── sdkcraft.yaml      # Declarative SDK definition (packages, plugs, services)
├── renovate.json      # Automated dependency update configuration
├── VERSION            # Current SDK version (where applicable)
├── README.md          # SDK-specific documentation
├── hooks/             # Lifecycle scripts (install, configure, run, remove)
└── services/          # Systemd service definitions (for daemons like Ollama, JupyterLab)
