🚀 Key Benefits

• Easy deployment and management
• Significantly reduce the delay between writing code and shipping it to production
• Efficiently manage and scale your infrastructure as your needs evolve
• Enhance security by isolating services using namespaces and networks.
• Enjoy peace of mind with automatic backups, zero downtime fail-over, and comprehensive log monitoring
• Enjoy history tracking of your container and virtual machine configuration
• Revert configuration as quickly as pressing a button
• Build an entire CI/CD pipeline, from tests to high-availability production
• Best ideas and practices from the community

🔧 Usage

Nanocl is designed to be easy to operate by mostly using Statefiles.
Statefiles are yaml files that define the state you want.
There is an example used to deploy our documentation:

ApiVersion: v0.12

# See all options:
# https://docs.next-hat.com/references/nanocl/cargo
Cargoes:
- Name: doc
  Container:
    Image: nh-doc:0.12.0

# See all options:
# https://docs.next-hat.com/references/nanocl/resource
Resources:
- Name: docs.next-hat.com
  Kind: ncproxy.io/rule/v0.9
  Data:
    Rules:
    - Domain: docs.next-hat.com
      Network: Public
      Ssl: cert.next-hat.com
      Locations:
      - Path: /
        Target:
          Key: doc.nexthat.c
          Port: 80

To apply a state we can do it easily bu running nanocl state apply -s path|url
We can also revert a state by calling nanocl state rm -s path|url

🧿 Architecture

Nanocl is designed in a micro services architecture several component are required and they are running as container included the Nanocl Daemon itself. The following components will be installed during nanocl setup and are required to ensure Nanocl functionnality:

• nstore to save our state
• ndaemon as REST API to manage everything
• nmetrics to monitor cpu, memory and network usage
• nproxy proxy to redirect traffic to our containers and virtual machines
• ncproxy to update proxy configuration based on the current state
• ndns to manage the dns entries for the containers and virtual machines
• ncdns to update dns entries based on the current state
