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.
See here for documentation.
Installation scripts for Debian-like systems are provided in the setup directory.
See Installation for installation instructions.
RedPepper's user interface is the RedPepper Console, which is installed by default with the Manager. See the documentation for the console.
