OrbitNova CLI
A powerful command-line interface to manage your instances, networks, storage and deployments — built for speed, automation and developer productivity.
Get started →Everything from one terminal.
The CLI gives you full control over your OrbitNova infrastructure without ever leaving your workflow.
Instance Management
Spin up, scale, snapshot and terminate instances with a single command. Full lifecycle control — list, create, stop, restart, delete and SSH into any instance directly from your terminal. Supports both KVM-based virtual machines and LXD system containers, giving you identical bare-metal performance for container workloads alongside full VM isolation when you need a different kernel or OS. Live migration, stateful snapshots and flexible resource limits (CPU, memory, disk, network I/O) are available for every instance type.
LXD Containers & VMs
Powered by Canonical LXD, OrbitNova instances run as lightweight system containers (LXC-based, sharing the host kernel for near-zero overhead) or as fully isolated KVM/QEMU virtual machines — both managed through a single unified CLI. Spin up any supported Linux distribution or Windows VM image in seconds from built-in image stores. Cluster up to 50 servers into a single unified pool with thousands of instances, all governed by the same distributed database. Hardware passthrough (GPU, USB, NIC, disk), OVN advanced networking, SR-IOV, UEFI SecureBoot and vTPM are all supported out of the box.
Quick Deployments
Push to any environment in seconds. Blue-green, canary and rolling deployment strategies are all built in with zero additional configuration required.
Debug & Monitoring
Live log streaming, metrics inspection and diagnostic tools — everything accessible without leaving the terminal. Filter by level, keyword, regex or time range.
Secrets & Config
Manage environment variables and secrets securely across all environments. Values are encrypted at rest and never exposed in logs or command history.
Network Control
Configure VPCs, subnets, security groups and load balancers with clean, declarative network commands. Full control over ingress, egress and routing rules.
CI/CD Integration
Native plugins for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins. Automate your entire pipeline with a single CLI call inside any workflow step.
