Antd aims to be an application & configuration init and a configuration daemon. Thinking about a Linux/Unix system as "applicative appliance system", Antd can be invoked by the base init system just after the base boot of the system into a known minimal runlevel and execute base and applicative processes, settings, and check the configuration. It can work both locally and in distributed environments and uses and internal nosql database for complex data management and to start, control, check, monitor of the system and application stack.

Antd can work with systemd or other init systems.

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

Antd would be a single daemon to maintain the linux/unix appliance system (processes, clustering, configuration, configuration store, configuration dispatching, monitoring) using, whenever possible, shell commands, kernel related userspace commands or direct access to pseudo filesystems (linux) like /proc /sys and dbus.

• total administration, easy to use for inspecting journals and starting and stopping services.
• swiss knife for administration, configuration and monitoring
• single machine to big clustered enviroments or distributed installations scalability
• de-structured clustering (orchestrated executions and management of processes and application on distributed enviroments
• capable of full machine control and check
• unique interface, from low level to highest application level
• system independent / system architecture independent

• Webmin
• LuCI OpenWRT
• Cockipt Project
• CoreOS fleet and etcd

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

Windows

1. download the source files
2. import nuget packages necessary to build with "Restore nuget packages" available both in Mono Develop + nuget and Visual Studio.
3. run it!

Gentoo Linux

1. add dotnet repository (layman -a dotnet)
2. emerge antd
3. run it! (antd or sudo antd for root permissions)

Any Linux

1. install mono (3.2.1 or higher)
2. build it with xbuild or from the IDE
3. run it!

The Antd API uses JSON over HTTP

Fork the repository on GitHub Play with the project, submit bugs, submit patches, submit extensions, submit ideas (!!!),

This is a rough outline of what a contributor's workflow looks like:

Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (usually master). Make commits of logical units. Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format (see below). Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository. Make sure the tests pass, and add any new tests as appropriate. Submit a pull request to the original repository.

Thanks for your contributions!
