OliveTin gives safe and simple access to predefined shell commands from a web interface.
Safely give access to commands, for less technical people;
- eg: Give your family a button to
podman restart plex - eg: Give junior admins a simple web form with dropdowns, to start your custom script.
backupScript.sh --folder {{ customerName }} - eg: Enable SSH access to the server for the next 20 mins
firewall-cmd --add-service ssh --timeout 20m
Simplify complex commands, make them accessible and repeatable;
- eg: Expose complex commands on touchscreen tablets stuck on walls around your house.
wake-on-lan aa:bb:cc:11:22:33 - eg: Run long running on your servers from your cell phone.
dnf update -y - eg: Define complex commands with lots of preset arguments, and turn a few arguments into dropdown select boxes.
docker rm {{ container }} && docker create {{ container }} && docker start {{ container }}

- Responsive, touch-friendly UI - great for tablets and mobile
- Super simple config in YAML - because if it's not YAML now-a-days, it's not "cloud native" :-)
- Dark mode - for those of you that roll that way.
- Accessible - passes all the accessibility checks in Firefox, and issues with accessibility are taken seriously.
- Container - available for quickly testing and getting it up and running, great for the selfhosted community.
- Integrate with anything - OliveTin just runs Linux shell commands, so theoretially you could integrate with a bunch of stuff just by using curl, ping, etc. However, writing your own shell scripts is a great way to extend OliveTin.
- Lightweight on resources - uses only a few MB of RAM and barely any CPU. Written in Go, with a web interface written as a modern, responsive, Single Page App that uses the REST/gRPC API.
- Good amount of unit tests and style checks - helps potential contributors be consistent, and helps with maintainability.
