Imagine a Sim-City-style interface for managing your infrastructure: drag a machine onto the field, connect it to a service, and you're done.

Behind the scenes, the clan.lol project turns that visual layout into the correct Nix modules - automatically configuring machines, managing secrets, and setting up a mesh VPN.

In this presentation we detail:

- Visualize and Configure Networks in 3D

- A "Sim City" inspired 3D-UI to configure your selfhosted network without writing Nix!

- Portable Multi-Machine Module System

- Network-wide modules that configure multiple machines

- Support for complex, role based relationships between machines (e.g. client, server)

- Generation and distribution of secrets via generators

- Multi VPN support

- Support for running multiple VPNs at once

- Deployment picks best suitable VPN connection

- Extensible interface so users can define their own.

- Multi-Platform support

- Integrated MacOS support with nix-darwin.
