3 Minute PoC Install

Looking to test out Netmaker as quickly as possible? You'll need:

  1. A cloud VM running Ubuntu 20.04 with a public IP
    • DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, GCP, etc.
  2. Open firewall ports 443 and 51821/udp-51830/udp
    • If running behind security groups (AWS, GCP, etc.) make sure they're open there too.
  3. Docker, docker-compose, and wireguard installed
    • apt -y install wireguard docker docker-compose

Once this is done, simply run the below command:

sudo wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gravitl/netmaker/develop/scripts/nm-quick.sh | bash

What is Netmaker?

Netmaker is a platform for creating and managing networks that are:

  • Fast
  • Secure
  • Dynamic
  • Virtual
  • Zero-Trust
  • WireGuard-based

Netmaker manages networks between computers that span data centers, clouds, and edge devices. Networking between environments can be a challenge, so Netmaker is designed to allow developers, DevOps engineers, SRE's, and others to manage virtual networks with as little pain as possible. You create a network with a few clicks, and add machines to that network with a single command.

Why Netmaker?

  1. Create a flat, secure network between multiple/hybrid cloud environments
  2. Integrate central and edge services
  3. Secure a home or office network while providing remote connectivity
  4. Provide an additional layer of security on an existing network
  5. Encrypt Kubernetes inter-node communications
  6. Secure site-to-site connections
  7. Connect to IoT devices
  8. Manage an existing WireGuard setup with less manual configuration
