NexusForgeLab

Forging reliable software at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and open-source engineering.

🚀 What We Build

NexusForgeLab operates as a hybrid engineering hub, maintaining a mix of open-source contributions and private enterprise tooling. Our primary engineering focus includes:

Domain	Focus Areas
🐳 Containers	Docker composition, container orchestration, and microservices patterns.
⚙️ DevOps	CI/CD pipelines, automation scripting, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC).
🧱 Self-Hosting	Robust stacks for home-labs and independent infrastructure.
🛠️ Tooling	Internal CLI utilities and engineering productivity tools.
🧪 R&D	Experimental projects pushing the boundaries of reliable automation.

🌍 Our Philosophy: Open First

We believe that software should be practical and transparent. Our core tenets are:

• Open by default: Whenever possible, we make our work public to benefit the community.
• Engineering > Hype: We prioritize tools that run reliably in real-world environments over the latest trends.
• Collaboration: Public repositories are always open for contributions, forks, and improvements.

📌 Repository Structure

To help you navigate our organization, we categorize our work into two streams:

🔓 Public Repositories

Open-source tools, public stacks, and community projects.

• Target: Community use, collaboration, and educational value.
• License: Generally MIT or Apache 2.0 unless otherwise stated.

🔒 Private Repositories

Internal tooling, client-specific implementations, and active prototypes.

• Target: Internal operations and specific client environments.
• Note: These may move to public status once they reach a stable maturity level.

🤝 Contributing

We welcome engineers, hobbyists, and automation enthusiasts to contribute to our public work.

1. Discuss: Open an issue to discuss bugs or feature ideas.
2. Context: Submit Pull Requests (PRs) with clear descriptions of why the change is needed.
3. Simplicity: We value maintainable, readable code over complex abstractions.
