Nawa (นาวา)

A self-hosted container management for single host machines, served as a single binary. Nawa means a ship or a vessel in Thai.

I have built it solely for personal uses. Inspired by the designs of dockge (minimalist) & arcane (pragmatic). I just wanted the best of both worlds for myself.

Building the Binary

cd web
pnpm install && pnpm run build
cd ..
go build -o nawa ./cmd/nawa

Configuration

All configuration is via environment variables.

Variable	Required	Default	Description
JWT_SECRET	yes		Secret used to sign JWT tokens
ADMIN_USERNAME	no	admin	Admin username
ADMIN_PASSWORD	no	generated if unset	Admin password
COOKIE_SECURE	no	false	Set to true behind HTTPS

Getting Started

If you have the binary built, it has both frontend & backend in it.

JWT_SECRET=your-secret nawa

Then open http://localhost:5555.

On first run, if no admin password is set, one is generated and printed to the terminal, please save it, it is shown only once.

Development

Run the backend and frontend dev server separately for live file changes:

# Frontend @ localhost:4321
cd web && pnpm run dev

# Backend @ localhost:5555
JWT_SECRET=dev air
