Verify a JWT token:

nox jwt verify --token your.jwt.token --key /path/to/public.pem

Encryption and Decryption

Encrypt a file using Base64 encryption:

nox encrypt base64 --input /path/to/file --output /path/to/output

Decrypt a file:

nox decrypt base64 --input /path/to/encrypted_file --output /path/to/decrypted_file

S3 File Management

List files in an S3 bucket:

nox s3 list --bucket my-bucket --region us-west-2

Database Operations

Backup a PostgreSQL database:

nox db backup --db "postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb" --output /path/to/backup.sql

Restore a PostgreSQL database:

nox db restore --db "postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb" --input /path/to/backup.sql

Docker Management

Clean up unused Docker containers, images, and volumes:

nox docker clean

Tail logs for a Docker container:

nox docker logs --container container_name

Network Operations

Ping a host:

nox net ping --host google.com

Perform a DNS lookup:

nox net dns --domain example.com

Secrets Management

nox secrets encrypt --secret "mysecret" --key /path/to/key.pem

Decrypt a secret:

nox secrets decrypt --secret "encrypted_secret" --key /path/to/key.pem

File and Directory Operations

Compress a directory:

nox file compress --input /path/to/directory --output /path/to/output.zip --algorithm zip

Decompress a file:

nox file decompress --input /path/to/file.zip --output /path/to/output_directory

UUID Generation

Generate a new UUID:

nox uuid generate

Hashing Utilities

Hash a text using SHA-256:

nox hash --text "your text" --algorithm sha256

Hash a file:

nox hash --file /path/to/file --algorithm sha256

Environment Management

Set environment variables from a file:

nox env set --file /path/to/.env

Retrieve the value of an environment variable:

nox env get --name ENV_VAR_NAME

Service Management

Start a system service:

nox service start --name docker

Check the status of a system service:

nox service status --name docker

Template Generation

Create a new project template:

nox template create --type flask-app --name my_project

Time and Date Utilities

Display the current date and time in ISO format:

nox time now --format iso

Cloud Operations

Deploy an application to a cloud provider:

nox cloud deploy --provider aws --config deploy_config.json

Check the status of a deployed application:

nox cloud status --provider aws --app my_app

Plugins

Nox supports a plugin system that allows you to extend its functionality without modifying the core codebase.

Creating a Plugin

To create a plugin, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new Python file in the nox/plugins/ directory.
  2. Implement the NoxPlugin interface.
# nox/plugins/my_plugin.py

import click
from nox.plugins import NoxPlugin

class MyPlugin(NoxPlugin):
    def register_commands(self, cli):
        @cli.command()
        def my_command():
            """Command provided by MyPlugin."""
            click.echo("This is a command from MyPlugin!")

plugin = MyPlugin()
  1. Your plugin will be automatically discovered and loaded when you run Nox.

Loading External Plugins

To load plugins distributed as separate packages, ensure they are installed in the same environment as Nox, and they will be discovered automatically.
