A state-based server management system (meta-package)

Project description

RedPepper

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 primarily targeted for Linux-based systems although it could be partially functional on other OS's as well.

RedPepper is inspired by Salt but aims to be more reliable 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.

Please note: This project is currently being beta-tested and the bugs are being worked out. You can help by testing RedPepper in your own use case and opening issues when you find a flat spot.

Installation

Installation scripts for Debian-like systems are provided in the setup directory. See Installation for installation instructions.
