# Orca

Offline/CLI-first orchestration engine inspired by HashiCorp Nomad, far simpler than Kubernetes.

## Status

**v0.9: Re-architecture Foundation — COMPLETE** | **v0.10: Docs & Install Hardening — IN PROGRESS**

See [.ciagent/ROADMAP.md](.ciagent/ROADMAP.md) for the full roadmap.

## Pillars

- **Simplicity** — single binary, minimal dependencies
- **AI-first** — CLI designed for both humans and AI agents
- **Offline-first** — no cloud dependencies
- **CLI-first** — primary interface is the command line
- **Security before features** — NFRs ship before new functionality
- **Bug fixes before features** — stability is paramount
- **NFRs before features** — observability and auditability first

## Quickstart

### Install (1-liner)

```bash
# User-level install (binary at ~/.local/bin/orca, state at ~/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

# System-level install (binary at /usr/local/bin/orca, state at /root/.orca)
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --system

# Pin a specific version
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v0.9.1

# Dry-run: check what would be installed without writing
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --check
```

Then initialize local state and verify:

```bash
orca init          # creates ~/.orca/ (or /root/.orca with --system)
orca version       # prints version info
orca --help        # show all subcommands
```

### Build from source

```bash
make build         # Build binary to ./bin/orca
./bin/orca init    # Initialize local state
./bin/orca version # Verify
```

### Update in place

Re-running the installer updates the binary while preserving your
config, database, and certificates in the namespace dir:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca/raw/branch/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# → "updated orca from v0.8.15 to v0.9.1"
```
