Zero-Config CLI Deployment for AI-Generated Code

Nixora is the control plane for AI-generated software and AI agents: deployment (along with diagnosis) is the first capability that's live today, not the entire scope of the product.

The Challenge of Deploying AI Code

AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini allow developers to build full-stack web applications in minutes. However, shipping that generated code to a live production URL traditionally requires writing a custom Dockerfile, configuring cloud compute ports, managing TLS certificates, and handling host routing. Nixora bridges local code generation and persistent cloud hosting directly from your terminal.

CLI Execution Sequence

Here is how the Nixora CLI operates in your local terminal:

# 1. Install global CLI agent
$ pip install nixora
# 2. Authenticate CLI (Waitlist Approved)
$ nixora login
# 3. Initialize project configuration
$ nixora init
# 4. Build & deploy to managed cloud
$ nixora deploy
✔ Container image built automatically
✔ Compute provisioned
✔ HTTPS TLS certificate issued
✔ Live: https://my-app.nixora.co.in

Core CLI Commands Live Today

nixora init: Creates local project configuration (nixora.json).
nixora deploy: Scans project files, detects runtime, containerizes without Dockerfile, provisions compute, issues TLS certificates, and routes traffic.
nixora diagnose: Analyzes deployment failures, explaining why an AI-generated build failed and offering exact configuration fixes.
nixora status: Displays container state, deployment health, and public routing endpoint.
nixora logs: Streams real-time container logs directly to your terminal.

Runtime Detection & Environment Handling

Runtime Detection: Nixora scans project files to detect framework runtime (Node.js, Python, Go, or custom Dockerfile) and entry point scripts.
Environment Variables: Reads configuration from local .env files or project settings and provisions them securely.
Port Binding: Automatically detects application listening ports, binds process to 0.0.0.0, and maps public HTTPS routing.
HTTPS & DNS Attachment: Generates TLS certificates and maps public routing automatically.
