Makiatto

Makiatto is a lightweight CDN that lets you deploy and distribute content across multiple servers with minimal infrastructure overhead. It creates a secure WireGuard mesh network between your machines and provides automatic content synchronisation, GeoDNS routing, and coordinate-based geographic distribution through simple CLI commands.

Features

One-command deployment: Initialise nodes with a single CLI command
GeoDNS with coordinate-based routing: Automatically direct users to their nearest server
No single point of failure: Decentralised architecture with no control plane
Automatic SSL certificates: Built-in Let's Encrypt integration
Simple content management: Easy file uploads and website deployments

Who is this for?

Developers who want their own CDN infrastructure instead of using commercial providers
Privacy-conscious users who prefer self-hosted solutions
Small teams serving static sites that need global performance without vendor lock-in
Hobbyists who enjoy building their own infrastructure

Quick Start

Install the CLI
```
cargo install makiatto-cli
```
Create your CDN nodes

Set up nodes in different geographic regions. Each node will automatically join the mesh network and sync content. We recommend using at least 3 nodes as you'll need a minimum of 3 nameservers for proper DNS redundancy.
```
makiatto-cli machine init <name> <user>@<ip address>
makiatto-cli machine init vector root@203.0.113.1
makiatto-cli machine init klukai ubuntu@2001:db8::1
```
Configure your project

Create a makiatto.toml file in your project to define your domain and content paths.
```
[[domain]]
name = "zuccherocat.cafe"
path = "./dist"
```
Deploy your content

Sync your static files and domain config to all nodes in the mesh.
```
makiatto-cli sync
```
Configure your domain nameservers

Set up your domain to use Makiatto's custom nameservers for GeoDNS routing. Follow the guide to add glue records and configure your domain registrar.
```
makiatto-cli dns nameserver-setup
```

Your content should now be distributed globally with automatic geolocation DNS routing! For more detailed instructions, see the documentation.
