NodaStack

A modern, Docker-powered local web server manager for Windows.
An intuitive alternative to XAMPP & WAMP, built with .NET (WPF).

---

✨ Features

• One-Click Services: Launch Apache, PHP, MySQL, and phpMyAdmin instantly.
• Docker-Powered: Leverages the power and isolation of Docker, without the complexity.
• Project Management: Easily create, manage, and browse projects in your www directory.
• Modern UI: A clean and intuitive WPF interface with light and dark modes.
• Real-time Monitoring: Built-in logging and service status indicators.
• Lightweight & Portable: Use the installer or just run the portable version.

🏗️ Architecture Overview

The codebase is organized into two main projects:

• NodaStack.Core – Contains domain models shared across the application.
• NodaStack – The WPF interface referencing the core library.

This separation keeps core logic independent from the user interface and paves the way for additional front‑ends or services.
