Deploio Guides

Appearance

Tools ​

In this guide, we'll introduce you to the tools that you can use to manage your Deploio resources. This section is divided into two categories:

  • Official tools (actively maintained by Deploio)
  • Community tools (created and maintained by the community)

Official ​

CLI ​

Our nctl CLI seamlessly integrates Deploio into your workflows. You can use it to manage applications, databases, and more from the command line. Follow the Getting Started guide to set it up.

Compared to the Deploio GUI, the CLI interface is more flexible and allows you to automate your workflows. In addition, the interface is more stable, making it a great choice for power users.

API ​

nctl is basically a wrapper around the Nine Self Service API. If you're looking for a more programmatic interface, you can of course also call the API directly.

Using kubectl ​

Nine's API is based on Kubernetes, meaning that you can use kubectl to manage your Deploio applications as well. This is especially useful if you're already familiar with Kubernetes and want to use its powerful features. Have a look at this example showing how an object storage bucket can be created using kubectl.

Create your own GUI ​

Need a GUI tailored to your specific workflow? Our API provides all the necessary endpoints to build a custom interface for managing your Deploio resources. Have a look at the API documentation for more details.

GUI (Cockpit) ​

The Deploio cockpit is a web-based interface that allows you to manage your Deploio resources. It's built on top of the Nine Self Service API and provides a simple and intuitive user interface. It's ideal for quick tasks or when automation isn't required.

Community ​

This section contains tools created and maintained by the community. Feel free to contribute to them by opening a PR here!

deploio-cli ​

The folks at Renuo have created a wrapper around nctl that aims to simplify the usage of the CLI. By assuming an app naming convention, the CLI will automatically detect the app by matching your git remote URL against nctl apps. Note that this CLI is still in early development and not official.
