Auto-admin is a set of tools for automating common systems management tasks such as enabling/disabling services, tuning the system, installing software, etc.
There are two primary goals:
- Provide a compatibility layer to help automate sysadmin tasks across multiple platforms.
- Act as a knowledgebase for performing sysadmin tasks from the command-line.
Core design principals:
- Complete portability: Our aim is to support any POSIX platform for which someone is willing to maintain the code.
- Zero dependencies: All scripts are written in POSIX Bourne shell and use only tools included with a minimal install, so auto-admin can be the first package installed after the OS.
- Speed and Simplicity: Our efforts are focused on basic functionality, robustness, fast and easy setup and management.
