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. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes 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. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
