RedPepper logo

RedPepper is a state-based configuration management system written in Python. It has two basic components: a central manager and one or more agents on controlled servers. Redpepper is used to distribute configuration to servers and ensure that the servers remain in a consistent state.

RedPepper is inspired by Salt but aims to be more flexible and easy-to-use.

RedPepper has a REST API for integration with tools or user interfaces. RedPepper comes with an integrated web UI built with Vue.js for managing the system.
