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-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 Great for tablets and mobile, with a touch-friendly UI.
Auto Light/Dark mode For those of you that don't like bright screens.
Accessible Passes all the accessibility checks in Firefox, and issues with accessibility are taken seriously.
Linux Container For quickly testing and getting it up and running, great for the selfhosted community.
Integrate with anything It just runs shell commands - you could integrate with a bunch of stuff just by using curl, ping, etc.
Lightweight on resources Uses only a few MB of RAM and barely any CPU, written in Go + JS with relatively few dependencies.
Well tested Well, nobody like bugs, after all!

Configuration Example

YAML - Configuration as code, rather than configuration via a million little options in an admin panel :-)
