Clear NDR ISO

Abstract

1. Introduction

Clear NDR is using stamusctl to manage the installation and configuration of the system. The configuration files used by stamusctl are stored in a separate repository: Stamusctl Templates.

The repository was previously known as SELKS but has been rebranded to Clear NDR Community to better reflect profound architectural changes. See the Clear NDR Community page on Stamus Networks website for more details.

This repository is used to build the ISO images for Clear NDR Community. It contains a script and the associated configuration files to build the ISO images.

2. Objective
