Nipart is a Rust-based Linux network management tool, offering a memory-safe, thread-safe daemon, command-line tool, and API library.
Nipart's declarative YAML dramatically reduces the complexity of network deployment.
Nipart supports a daemonless mode for swift network configuration with zero residual processes or files — purpose-built for cloud-native container environments.
With a polished plugin interface, Nipart supports custom VPN and third-party interface management plugins.
