ndatmx

ndatmx is a daemon based project manager thingy i made to automate the fetching and running projects. it monitors git repos for changes, pulls commits, and then runs the project based on the conf file the project has.

stuff it has:

• it can pull shit from git repos
• it can start/stop/restart projects
• technically it can act as a dependency manager for projects?
• a lot of logging, and log rotation for projects
• a cli

how to build

to build the project, you need gcc/clang and cmake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

output:

• ndatmxd: the daemon
• ndatmx: the cli tool

usage

0. example config

[daemon]
poll_interval = 5
