Bash script collection targeted to sysadmins and server managers who wish to save time.

This is the Rocky Linux / RHEL version of the original Orchid script.

"The second record was called Morningrise"

Orchid was a personal server program originally written in C that tried to automate (or reduce keystrokes) in common server tasks on Debian based servers, due to it's unstable nature it crashed and caused a lot of trouble since it had poorly written C syscalls and code.

UpVent is now taking charge of this program, porting it completely to Bash.

Orchid CentOS is an EPEL Linux terminal tool written in bash that lets you interact with common server utilities and applications in hopes of making the process of preparing, managing and deploying easier for both sysadmins and day to day Gnu/Linux users.

To install and use Orchid in your system you have to run the following commands

1. Clone the repo, doing this in your home folder is recommended: git clone https://github.com/UpVent/orchid.git && cd orchid

2. To run orchid just use bash or the ./ order to start executing commands: ./orcd or bash orcd

3. [OPTIONAL] if you want to have Orchid available at all times save the repo in a hidden folder and add it to your PATH variable:

git clone https://github.com/UpVent/orchid.git && mv orchid .orchid

Then:

echo export PATH=$PATH:~/.orchid >> .bashrc

For now installation should be done manually in your home folder. We are currently working in the following installation options:

• Via .rpm package.
• Standalone binary (using shc).

Orchid breeds are invoked using the following steps:

1. Run orcd (short for orchid) to display all of the breeds (modules) available for Orchid.
2. Run orcd or orcd help to display the options available for any type of breed you need or want to use.
3. Run orcd to execute any option for a given breed.

In Orchid, breeds are small shell script with a separate set of functions that perform one and only one task most of them should just work out of the box by default since Orchid knows if it is being run in Ubuntu (also Mint) or Debian installations.

For advanced usage and details please consult the man/ directory for the project's manpage.

This script is still in testing phase, so it's results shouldn't be taken as granted in any way possible, testing is welcome and after some triage features will be considered stable and safe to use.

There are a lot of things to do, please consult the projects tab.
