Who uses Elektra?

Elektra has three different main targets.

Desktop

Elektra allows applications to read and write from a global configuration tree. We miss a specification (schema) so that these configuration values can be shared (integrated).

Known users:

• Oyranos
• LCDproc (in progress)
• KDE (in progress)
• OpenHAB (in progress)

Embedded

Elektra is on the frontier for embedded systems because of its tiny core and the many possibilities with its plugins.

Known users:

• OpenWRT (distribution)
• Broadcom (blue-ray devices)
• Kapsch (cameras)
• Toshiba (TVs)

Server

Elektra is ideal suited for a local configuration storage by mounting existing configuration files into the global tree. Nodes using Elektra can be connected by already existing configuration management tools.

Known users:

• Allianz
