history
Project history and usage
Convox is an open-source Kubernetes-based Platform as a Service with a CLI for installing racks, managing apps, deploying code, and operating cloud infrastructure across supported providers.
Project history
The current open-source repository was created in August 2019 and describes Convox as a multicloud PaaS. Official docs frame the product around installing a Rack on your own infrastructure and deploying applications through the `convox` command.
Adoption history
Convox packaging matters because the CLI is the local control surface for a larger cloud platform. Official installation docs publish downloadable binaries for Linux and macOS, while the Homebrew formula gives macOS and Linux users a package-manager path to the same command.
How it is used
A typical workflow is to create a Convox account, install or connect to a Rack on AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, or Microsoft Azure, log in with the CLI, keep application topology in `convox.yml`, and run commands such as `convox apps`, `convox deploy`, and rack-management commands.
Why package nerds care
Convox is a larger-than-usual CLI package: the executable fronts a PaaS control plane, Terraform/Kubernetes-backed racks, releases, secrets, load balancers, resources, scheduled jobs, and rollbacks. The package boundary is small, but the operational surface behind it is broad.
