Official Plugins

HostnExtra is built around a modular plugin architecture.

The core CLI provides a consistent interface for discovering, installing, updating, and running official plugins. Each plugin is distributed as an independent npm package, allowing you to install only the functionality you need.

Why Plugins?

The plugin-based architecture provides several advantages:

• Lightweight core CLI
• Independent plugin releases
• Install only the tools you need
• Smaller updates
• Better maintainability
• Easier expansion of the HostnExtra ecosystem
