It gives relay operators a curses interface for bandwidth, connections, logs, Tor configuration, torrc inspection, and controller access through Stem. ### Projektgeschichte Nyx is the renamed and redesigned successor to arm, the older command-line Tor monitor by Damian Johnson. The Tor Project blog post published on 2017-11-08 introduced Nyx as an overhaul of arm, highlighting Python 3 support, startup bandwidth graph improvements, IPv6 connection support, and connection viewing without toggling DisableDebuggerAttachment. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Nyx's adoption is tied to Tor relay operation rather than general shell use. The project page says version 2.1.0 was released on 2019-01-12, and package metadata shows it distributed through Homebrew plus Linux distributions including Alpine, Debian, Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu, and Nix. Homebrew reported 401 installs over the 365-day analytics window queried on 2026-07-01. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users install Nyx on the machine running Tor, enable a Tor ControlPort such as 9051 with cookie authentication, and run nyx in a terminal or SSH session. It is especially useful for relay operators who want top-like live status without a graphical desktop. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Nyx is significant because it is specialized operational tooling for a privacy network. Packaging it correctly matters: it depends on Python and Stem, needs terminal/curses behavior to work over SSH, and is part of the practical toolbox for people running Tor infrastructure. ### Zeitleiste - 2009: Nyx's FAQ links to an interview about the earlier tool history. - 2017-11-08: Tor Project blog introduced Nyx as the redesigned successor to arm. - 2019-01-12: Nyx 2.1.0 released, according to the project homepage. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew formula API reported stable version 2.1.0. ### Related projects - Tor - arm - Stem - Vidalia ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** nyx - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 3 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** yes - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - nyx - 2.1.0-3: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: nyx from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | terminal status monitor for tor | https://nyx.torproject.org - Nix - nyx: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ny/nyx/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - nyx - 2.1.0-3: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: nyx from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | terminal status monitor for tor | https://nyx.torproject.org - apk - nyx - 2.1.0-r6: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: nyx from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Terminal status monitor for Tor | https://nyx.torproject.org/ - apk - nyx-pyc - 2.1.0-r6: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: nyx-pyc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Precompiled Python bytecode for nyx | https://nyx.torproject.org/ - dnf - nyx - 2.1.0-31.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: nyx from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/210a2053c8e007daf9ae39c2a21daaed9b2ddd07d63ecffa597050361e73650c-primary.xml.zst | Command-line monitor for Tor | https://nyx.torproject.org - dnf - nyx-doc - 2.1.0-31.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: nyx-doc from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/210a2053c8e007daf9ae39c2a21daaed9b2ddd07d63ecffa597050361e73650c-primary.xml.zst | Command-line monitor for Tor | https://nyx.torproject.org - pacman - nyx - 2.1.0-10: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: nyx from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Command-line status monitor for tor | https://nyx.torproject.org/ ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [python@3.14](https://pkg.so/de/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [onionprobe](https://pkg.so/de/brew/onionprobe/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking, tor. - [onion-location](https://pkg.so/de/brew/onion-location/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, tor. - [autossh](https://pkg.so/de/brew/autossh/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [httping](https://pkg.so/de/brew/httping/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [snowflake](https://pkg.so/de/brew/snowflake/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, tor. - [dish](https://pkg.so/de/brew/dish/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [meek](https://pkg.so/de/brew/meek/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, networking, tor. - [rancid](https://pkg.so/de/brew/rancid/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [apprise](https://pkg.so/de/brew/apprise/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
