nanoctl

nanoctl is a fast, headless remote-desktop service with a browser controller. The host agent runs as an operating-system service on Windows, macOS, or Linux. The web application authenticates with Shoo, stores control-plane state in Convex, and negotiates an encrypted WebRTC connection directly to the host. A TURN relay is used only when a direct connection cannot be made.

This repository contains the nanoctl 2.0 rewrite. The release keeps the browser/WebRTC transport model while giving each session one lifecycle owner, generation-safe signaling, bounded newest-frame handoffs, and actionable readiness/recovery UX.

Repository

PathPurpose
apps/webNext.js dashboard, browser controller, Convex schema/functions
crates/nanoctl-agentNative headless capture, input, WebRTC, and service process
packages/protocolVersioned signaling and control protocol
infra/coturnReference TURN deployment
docsProduct, architecture, security, platform, protocol, testing, and operations

Prerequisites

  • Bun 1.3.14 or newer
  • Rust 1.96 or newer
  • a Convex project
  • a Shoo-supported HTTPS origin
  • a public TURN service for production

Install

Linux and macOS:

curl -fsSL https://extoci.lol/nanoctl/install | sh

Windows PowerShell:

irm https://extoci.lol/nanoctl/install | iex

The installer downloads and verifies the latest release, asks for the setup code on first install, and starts nanoctl automatically in the current desktop session. Run the same command again to update to the latest release.

To test the v2 alpha explicitly:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/extoci/nanoctl/releases/download/v2.0.0-alpha.1/install.sh \
| NANOCTL_VERSION=v2.0.0-alpha.1 sh

On Windows PowerShell:

$env:NANOCTL_VERSION="v2.0.0-alpha.1"
irm https://github.com/extoci/nanoctl/releases/download/v2.0.0-alpha.1/install.ps1 | iex

Development

bun install
cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
bun run convex:dev
bun run dev

In another terminal:

cargo run --manifest-path crates/nanoctl-agent/Cargo.toml -- doctor
cargo run --manifest-path crates/nanoctl-agent/Cargo.toml -- enroll ABCDE-FGHJK-MNPQR-STVWX
cargo run --manifest-path crates/nanoctl-agent/Cargo.toml -- run

Run all repository checks with bun run check. Media-feature builds also require the native desktop capture development libraries for the target platform.

Host registration and removal instructions are in docs/SETUP.md.

Security posture

nanoctl is designed for device-owner-authorized access. It does not hide its installation, bypass OS consent, capture a locked secure desktop without supported system APIs, or provide an arbitrary remote shell. Media and input travel over DTLS-SRTP/SCTP. The control plane sees device metadata, session metadata, and encrypted transport addresses, but not unencrypted desktop content.

Read docs/SECURITY.md before deploying.

Current deployment boundary

The source is production-oriented, but a release is not considered supported until its platform package has passed the physical-machine matrix in docs/TESTING.md. VM-only tests cannot validate hardware encoders, macOS TCC prompts, Windows secure desktop behavior, Wayland portals, or hostile NAT traversal.

nanoctl
nanoctl is a fast, headless remote-desktop service with a browser controller. The host agent runs
as an operating-system service on Windows, macOS, or Linux. The web application authenticates with
Shoo, stores control-plane state in Convex, and negotiates an encrypted WebRTC
connection directly to the host. A TURN relay is used only when a direct connection cannot be made.
This repository contains the nanoctl 2.0 rewrite. The release keeps the browser/WebRTC transport
model while giving each session one lifecycle owner, generation-safe signaling, bounded newest-frame
handoffs, and actionable readiness/recovery UX.
Repository
PathPurpose
apps/webNext.js dashboard, browser controller, Convex schema/functions
crates/nanoctl-agentNative headless capture, input, WebRTC, and service process
packages/protocolVersioned signaling and control protocol
infra/coturnReference TURN deployment
docsProduct, architecture, security, platform, protocol, testing, and operations
Prerequisites
  • Bun 1.3.14 or newer
  • Rust 1.96 or newer
  • a Convex project
  • a Shoo-supported HTTPS origin
  • a public TURN service for production
Install
Linux and macOS:
curl -fsSL https://extoci.lol/nanoctl/install | sh
Windows PowerShell:
irm https://extoci.lol/nanoctl/install | iex
The installer downloads and verifies the latest release, asks for the setup code on first install,
and starts nanoctl automatically in the current desktop session. Run the same command again to
update to the latest release.
To test the v2 alpha explicitly:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/extoci/nanoctl/releases/download/v2.0.0-alpha.1/install.sh \
| NANOCTL_VERSION=v2.0.0-alpha.1 sh
On Windows PowerShell:
$env:NANOCTL_VERSION="v2.0.0-alpha.1"
irm https://github.com/extoci/nanoctl/releases/download/v2.0.0-alpha.1/install.ps1 | iex
Development
bun install
cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
bun run convex:dev
bun run dev
In another terminal:
cargo run --manifest-path crates/nanoctl-agent/Cargo.toml -- doctor
cargo run --manifest-path crates/nanoctl-agent/Cargo.toml -- enroll ABCDE-FGHJK-MNPQR-STVWX
cargo run --manifest-path crates/nanoctl-agent/Cargo.toml -- run
Run all repository checks with bun run check. Media-feature builds also require the native desktop
capture development libraries for the target platform.
Host registration and removal instructions are in docs/SETUP.md.
Security posture
nanoctl is designed for device-owner-authorized access. It does not hide its installation, bypass
OS consent, capture a locked secure desktop without supported system APIs, or provide an arbitrary
remote shell. Media and input travel over DTLS-SRTP/SCTP. The control plane sees device metadata,
session metadata, and encrypted transport addresses, but not unencrypted desktop content.
Read docs/SECURITY.md before deploying.
Current deployment boundary
The source is production-oriented, but a release is not considered supported until its platform
package has passed the physical-machine matrix in docs/TESTING.md. VM-only tests
cannot validate hardware encoders, macOS TCC prompts, Windows secure desktop behavior, Wayland
portals, or hostile NAT traversal.
