Operators
Guides for the people who run Nimbus: DevOps, platform, and admin teams self-hosting a server for their organization — or developers hosting their own. Start with the self-host quickstart if you haven’t run a server yet, then work through deploying to a Linux server.
Install & deploy
Section titled “Install & deploy”- Deploy to a Linux server — the end-to-end tutorial: install, systemd unit, token, first request.
- Container image — run the published OCI image with podman or docker.
- Desktop install — the CLI and desktop app on a workstation.
- Updates — keep the binary current.
- Storage backends — SQLite, redb, Postgres, MySQL, and libSQL topologies.
- Encryption at rest — key providers, migration, and rotation.
- Backup and restore — what to capture per backend and how to restore it.
Administration
Section titled “Administration”- Tenant isolation — create and administer tenants on a running server.
- Node lifecycle — systemd and Quadlet
service management with
nimbus node. - Observability — health, debug endpoints, logs, and the access audit log.
- Security hardening — the checklist for exposed deployments.
- Troubleshooting — symptom, cause, fix.
The flag-by-flag configuration tables live in the Reference section, and the isolation model itself is explained in Concepts: tenant isolation.
