OliveTin

Use case: 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

Use case: 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 running 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

• Super simple config in YAML - because YAML is the future :-)

• Responsive - great for tablets and mobile, with a touch-friendly UI
• 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 shell commands, so theoretially 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/gRPC API.
• Good amount of unit tests and style checks - helps potential contributors be consistent, and helps with maintainability.
