Description and use
Nmstate is an open‑source library (with a companion CLI) that enables declarative configuration of a host’s networking stack—allowing users to define desired network states in YAML/JSON and apply them atomically. It abstracts low‑level Linux networking tools (NetworkManager, ip, ethtool, etc.) to provide a consistent, programmatic interface for managing interfaces, bonds, bridges, VLANs, and other network resources across diverse environments.
Problem
nmstate/nmstate may be useful when its README and activity match a concrete workflow.
Outcome
Early or unclear: treat as research material until maintenance, releases, docs, and issue activity are verified.
Evidence
Nmstate is a library with an accompanying command line tool that manages host networking settings in a declarative manner.
