Nixopus streamlines your workflow with comprehensive tools for deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.

⚠️ Important Note: Nixopus is currently in alpha/pre-release stage and is not yet ready for production use. While you're welcome to try it out, we recommend waiting for the beta or stable release before using it in production environments. The platform is still undergoing testing and development.

This section will help you set up Nixopus on your VPS quickly.

First, install the Nixopus CLI tool:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raghavyuva/nixopus/refs/heads/master/scripts/install-cli.sh | sudo bash

Once the CLI is installed, you can self host Nixopus on your VPS:

nixopus install

You can customize your installation by providing the following optional parameters:

• --api-domain or -ad: Specify the domain where the Nixopus API will be accessible (e.g., nixopusapi.example.tld)
• --view-domain or -vd: Specify the domain where the Nixopus app will be accessible (e.g., nixopus.example.tld)
• --verbose or -v: Show more details while installing
• --timeout or -t: Set timeout for each step (default: 300 seconds)
• --force or -f: Replace files if they already exist
• --dry-run or -d: See what would happen without making changes
• --config-file or -c: Path to custom config file (defaults to built-in config.prod.yaml)

Example with optional parameters:

nixopus install \
  --api-domain nixopusapi.example.tld \
  --view-domain nixopus.example.tld \
  --verbose \
  --timeout 600

The Nixopus CLI provides several other useful commands:

• nixopus preflight - Check system requirements before installation
• nixopus install deps - Install only dependencies
• nixopus install ssh - Generate SSH keys for deployment
• nixopus service - Manage Nixopus services
• nixopus uninstall - Remove Nixopus from your system

Run nixopus --help to see all available commands.

Nixopus is derived from the combination of "octopus" and the Linux penguin (Tux). While the name might suggest a connection to NixOS, Nixopus is an independent project with no direct relation to NixOS or its ecosystem.
