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.

Timeline

  • 2019-08-16: Current official GitHub repository created.
  • 2026-06-03: 3.24.9 release published.
  • 2026: Official docs list AWS, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure as supported clouds.

Related projects

  • Convox is closely tied to Kubernetes, Terraform-backed rack installation, cloud-provider integrations, and the example applications hosted under the official Convox examples organization.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for convox. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Build metadata lists 2 build dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
