autobox

Rust, GO, Python, NixOS, and Docker driven Orchestration Box for Setting up Business-as-Code, Managing local Automation and Setting up Custom Network Configurations.

Target Local Systems

• pFSense Gateway/Firewall
• NixOS Linux Servers
• Docker Containers

Requirements

• Use GO to develop Webserver Resources and REST API
• Use Python to develop Scripting and Automation
• Use Rust and Dioxus to develop GUI Resources
• Use NixOS to develop OS & Networking Configurations and Package Mangement (using Nix Flakes for reproducibility)
• Use Docker to develop Container Configurations
• Use PXE to access devices on LAN
• Use Git, NixOS (flakes), and Docker for Version Control
• Use any Git repository for Code Hosting
• Use GitHub Actions for CI/CD

Features

• Test Local Firewall Rules & Configurations
• Test Local NixOS Configurations
• Test Local Docker Container Configurations
• Test Local Network Routes & Configurations
• Deploy Business-as-Code Applications
  • Application List
    • Caddy for Reverse Proxy and SSL Certificate Management
    • Wisbot for Search, LLM Orchestration, Event Management and Automation
    • WisLLM for Agentic LLM Management
    • Data Warehouse for Data Storage and Management
    • Web/Cloud Stack for Web Applications
    • Nextcloud for Local Cloud and File Management
    • NocoDB for Project Management
    • Grafana for Monitoring and Visualization
    • Authentik for Authentication and Authorization
    • WireGuard for VPN
• Setup Automated Backups of deployed systems with a selected cloud provider (Digital Ocean, Vercel)
• Use Cloudflare for DNS, SSL, and CDN
