Client Usage

After server installation and server configuration, you can use the Web UI or run Nebula on devices:

  • ncclient – Device client (experimental): installation and usage (CLI, Windows Tray). ncclient will change often; see nebula for the stable approach.
  • nebula – Preferred method until ncclient stabilizes: create networks and nodes in the UI, then deploy config and certs yourself and run Nebula manually.

All of these assume the backend is running and reachable at the URL you configure.
