Remote Support

For remote environments, Nanokit automatically establishes an SSH tunnel to the target host before issuing start commands to the remote Docker daemon.


Examples

# Start all services in local environment nkapp start # Start specific services nkapp start api worker # Start staging services nkapp start -e stage

[!NOTE] nkapp start will only start services that have already been created (e.g. stopped via nkapp stop). If the container does not exist yet, use nkapp up instead.
