Use cases

Safely give access to commands, for less technical people;

  • eg: Give your family a button to podman restart plex
  • eg: Give junior admins a simple web form with dropdowns, to start your custom script. backupScript.sh --folder {{ customerName }}
  • eg: Enable SSH access to the server for the next 20 mins firewall-cmd --add-service ssh --timeout 20m

Simplify complex commands, make them accessible and repeatable;

  • eg: Expose complex commands on touchscreen tablets stuck on walls around your house. wake-on-lan aa:bb:cc:11:22:33
  • eg: Run long-lived commands on your servers from your cell phone. dnf update -y
  • eg: Define complex commands with lots of preset arguments, and turn a few arguments into dropdown select boxes. docker rm {{ container }} && docker create {{ container }} && docker start {{ container }}

Features

  • Responsive, touch-friendly UI - great for tablets and mobile
  • Super simple config in YAML - because if it's not YAML now-a-days, it's not "cloud native" :-)
  • Dark mode - for those of you that roll that way.
  • Accessible - passes all the accessibility checks in Firefox, and issues with accessibility are taken seriously.
  • Container - available for quickly testing and getting it up and running, great for the selfhosted community.
  • Integrate with anything - OliveTin just runs Linux shell commands, so theoretically you could integrate with a bunch of stuff just by using curl, ping, etc. However, writing your own shell scripts is a great way to extend OliveTin.
  • Lightweight on resources - uses only a few MB of RAM and barely any CPU. Written in Go, with a web interface written as a modern, responsive, Single Page App that uses the REST/Connect RPC API.
  • Good amount of unit tests and style checks - helps potential contributors be consistent, and helps with maintainability.
