Antd aims to be an application/configuration init and a configuration daemon. Antd can be invoked by the base init system just after entering a known minimum runlevel during boot. Antd will then execute base and applicative processes, settings, and then check the configuration. Antd can work both locally and in distributed environments. Antd uses noSQL for complex data management to start, control, and mmonitor parts of the system and application stack. Antd can also work with systemd or other init systems.

Antd is:

• written in C#
• based on Mono and Nancy frameworks
• implemented as web service with REST API service and rendered web interface
• released under the BSD 3 license
• self hosted, no external webserver is needed

Antd is a single daemon to maintain the entire Linux/Unix appliance system (processes, clustering, configuration, and monitoring) using, whenever possible, shell commands, kernel related userspace commands, or direct access to Unix pseudo filesystems like /proc, /sys, and dbus.

• Complete administration capabilities
• Easy to use for inspecting logs and managing services
• Swiss Knife all-in-one for administration, configuration and monitoring
• Scales from one machine to big cluster environments.
• Orchestrated execution and management of processes and applications in distributed environments
• Full machine administration and monitoring
• Unique interface throughout the application
• Hardware/OS/architecture independent

• Webmin
• LuCI OpenWRT
• Cockipt Project
• CoreOS fleet and etcd
• Salt Stack and its sub project Salt Virt
• Witsbits
• Any other kind of distributed configuration manager and system synchronizer out there

• C5
• DensoDb v3
• jQuery
• Owin
• Nancy
• Newtonsoft Json
• Metro UI
