Atomic App is a reference implementation of the Nulecule specification. Packaged Atomic App containers are "Nuleculized" and each component of the package is a "Nulecule".
Atomic App is used to bootstrap packaged container environments and run them on multiple container orchestrators. It is designed from the ground-up to be portable and provider pluggable.
-
A "packaged installer" for all container-based environments and applications. Replace all those bash and Ansible scripts with one container-based deployment tool.
-
Target multiple providers: Specify the provider you want the Atomic App to run on. It supports Kubernetes, OpenShift, Mesos+Marathon and Docker.
-
Inherit already packaged containers: Create composite applications by referencing other Nulecule-compliant applications. For example, plugging in an alternative well-orchestrated database in another referenced container image.
-
Fetch and run entire environments: Use
atomicapp fetchandatomicapp runto run pre-packaged Nuleculized containers.

Atomic App can be used either natively on your OS or ran via the atomic command on Fedora or CentOS Atomic hosts.
Detailed instructions on getting started are available. Alternatively, use the quick start guide to get a Nuleculized application running immediately.
An extended guide on the Nulecule file format is also available.
Atomic App can be used to launch a cluster of containers (application servers, databases, etc.).
For a list of already packaged examples, visit the nulecule-library repo.
We currently support:
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- OpenShift 3
- Marathon (Mesos)
Providers represent various deployment targets. They can be added by placing the artifact within the respective in artifacts/ folder. For example, placing deploy_pod.yml within artifacts/kubernetes/.
For a detailed description of all providers available see docs/providers.md.
First of all, awesome! We have a development guide to help you get started!
If you have any issues or get stuck, feel free to open a GitHub issue or reach us at our communication channels (see below).
