Build Your Own Darknet
Discover the simplest way to re-enter independent computing with our framework. Placing control directly at your fingertips.
Self-hosting services empowers you with greater control and flexibility over your data. However, maintaining such systems today often comes with significant technical challenges, including firewall/NAT configuration, data loss prevention, and security management.
The Clan project aims to lower the technical barriers of self-hosting with NixOS, making it accessible even to non-technical users. Our goal is to simplify the installation and maintenance of NixOS machines.
In this talk, we will present the new NixOS extensions we've developed to scale self-hosting, including VPN integration, backup management, secret management, a unified CLI for installation and updates, and an inventory system for managing clusters of machines.
We will also provide a sneak preview of the upcoming graphical user interface.
A KISS deployment tool to keep your NixOS fleet (servers & workstations) up to date.
This name was chosen because Bento are good, and comes with the idea of "ready to use". And it doesn't use "nix" in its name.

rkt (pronounced "rock-it") is a CLI for running app containers on Linux. rkt is designed to be composable, secure, and fast.
Some of rkt's key features and goals include:
- First-class integration with init systems (systemd, upstart) and cluster orchestration tools (fleet, Kubernetes)
- Compatibility with other container software (e.g. rkt can run Docker images)
- Modular and extensible architecture (network configuration plugins, swappable execution engines based on systemd or QEMU/KVM)
