:exclamation: This repository is now archived. Its future development and support will continue to be open source under the care of SouthWinds here.

TLDR;

After 4 years of development, what started as a small java based configuration management database turned into a comprehensive set of golang services to deal with remote configuration of applications and hosts.

The repository grew with more and more subprojects, and it now needs a breath of fresh air. As I do not have the bandwidth to continue its support, I am handing it over to SouthWinds Tech who will be breaking it down into individual repositories to improve their manageability and ease of use.

They will also provide support models, consultancy and documentation for those interested in using them in Enterprise environments.

The key projects are:

• interlink (the new name for the Onix Web API)
• artisan: devops package manager
• pilotctl: remote management of hosts and apps
• piloth: remote host management agent
• dbman: database manager
• doorman: application release, software distribution gateway

Please help by starring the above projects if you find them useful.

Key Features

Onix is a lightweight configuration management database (CMDB) designed to support Infrastructure as a Code provisioning to ultimately provide a single source of truth across multi-cloud environments.

The key features are:

• accessible via RESTful Web API, Ansible and Terraform components (Connectors) and a Web Console.
• flexible customisation via Models
• fully containerised, runs natively on Openshift and Kubernetes
• automatic population to avoid data misalignments, e.g. Kubernetes

• Getting started
• Database deployment
• Web API
• API Extensions
• Role Based Access
  • OpenId Connect
• Connectors
• Models
• Web Console
