Description

The hub command launches a background bridge (WebSocket server) that acts as a secure proxy between your local development environment (including any remote VPS tunnels) and the Nanokit Hub UI.

Once running, you can open the Hub  to:

  • Monitor container resource usage (CPU/RAM).
  • View live log streams from all environments.
  • Manage databases (Fork, Reset, Merge).
  • Start/stop services with a single click.

[!NOTE] The bridge must remain running while you are using the Hub to ensure real-time updates and command execution.
