On-Prem Server Management

Ops is a terminal UI application for managing on-premise bare-metal servers and VMs. It allows you see servers currently on your network and quickly ssh to them. Within the UI, you can create and manage multiple network configurations, you can choose a default set of ssh credentials to use for all servers, and you can override those defaults for individual IPs where needed.

This project is heavily inspired by derailed's amazing work on k9s for managing kubernetes clusters via a terminal ui application.

Files and Config

• ops.db: Configurations and server details are stored locally on your machine in a sqlite database located in your machines default cache directory. On Unix systems, it returns $XDG_CACHE_HOME if non-empty, else $HOME/.cache. On Darwin, it returns $HOME/Library/Caches.
• ops.log: Additional logging ~/.config/ops/ops.log

Technologies

• tview is used to build the frontend. This is a wonderful open source terminal ui library provided by rivo!
• nmap is used on the backend to perform arp scanning of networks to find and track devices.
• ansible is also used on the backend to gather additional details about a device where ssh is granted
