# :material-home: What is Clan?
[Clan](https://clan.lol/) is a peer-to-peer computer management framework that
empowers you to **selfhost in a reliable and scalable way**.
Built on NixOS, Clan provides a **declarative interface for managing machines**
with automated [secret management](./guides/secrets.md), easy
[mesh VPN connectivity](./guides/mesh-vpn.md), and
[automated backups](./guides/backups.md).
Whether you're running a homelab or maintaining critical computing
infrastructure, Clan will help **reduce maintenance burden** by allowing a **git
repository to define your whole network** of computers.
In combination with [sops-nix](https://github.com/Mic92/sops-nix),
[nixos-anywhere](https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-anywhere) and
[disko](https://github.com/nix-community/disko), Clan makes it possible to have
**collaborative infrastructure**.
At the heart of Clan are [Clan Services](./reference/clanServices/index.md) -
the core concept that enables you to add functionality across multiple machines
in your network. While Clan ships with essential core services, you can
[create custom services](./guides/clanServices.md) tailored to your specific
needs.
