Ockam is a library for building devices that communicate securely, privately
and trustfully with cloud services and other devices.
This crate supports the creation of a fully-featured Ockam Node
(see [`NodeManager`](https://github.com/build-trust/ockam/blob/2fc6d7714a4e54f8734c172ad6480fedc6e3629c/implementations/rust/ockam/ockam_api/src/nodes/service.rs#L87) in [`src/nodes/service.rs`](https://github.com/build-trust/ockam/blob/2fc6d7714a4e54f8734c172ad6480fedc6e3629c/implementations/rust/ockam/ockam_api/src/nodes/service.rs)).
## Configuration
A `NodeManager` maintains its database and log files on disk in
the `OCKAM_HOME` directory (`~/.ockam`) by default:
```shell
root
├─ database.sqlite
├─ nodes
│ ├─ node1
│ │ ├─ stderr.log
│ │ ├─ stdout.log
│ ├─ node2
│ └─ ...
```
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```
[dependencies]
ockam_api = "0.89.0"
```
