Welcome to wipit’s documentation (Work in progress)!

wipit (What I Put In Tasks) is a very high level tool for automating daily system administrator’s tasks. Its usability depends heavily on your individual situation and therefore wipit is probably not a useful tool for you.

wipit uses several other packages:

  • schneider for SSH agent and key management

  • fabric for remove invocation

Currently implemented/planned use cases are:

  • call Saltstack

    • state apply

    • add new key

  • update opsi packages

  • list Tailscale nodes (via Headscale)

  • Virtual Machines:

    • create and manage virtual machines (autostart)

    • install tailscale and register it

    • create a new packer image / update image

    • deploy images to VM hosts

    • update VM host (via Saltstack)

    • health state of VM hosts (Uptime, OS version and updates)

    • backup states

  • give an overview of all machines (bare metal and VMs)

Todo

look into invoke.configuration to set default parameters for specific tasks (e.g. opsi server)
