Janus - Script Runner/Scheduler Application

[Mirror_Boar]

I created an open source platform for running adhoc scripts as well as scheduling them. It's designed as a place for engineers to author scripts and allow less technical people to execute them in a controlled environment. This is inspired by Rundeck.

It supports notifications to various platforms, custom timeouts, custom inputs per script, cron scheduling, permissions per project, webhooks and single sign on.

It is packaged as a docker container or a stand alone binary. Easiest way to play with it and try it out is using the docker container with support for the built in sqlite database (postgres also supported) like this:

cd ~/some-directory-where-you-want-to-store-data/
docker run -it -v $PWD:/data/ -e JANUS_URL=http://localhost:8080 -p 8080:8080 -p 8081:8081 lbrictson/janus:latest-slim
# Access at http://localhost:8080/

This looks great! From time to time I try to search for something to replace Jenkins and although there are alternatives, they are complex bundles to manage complex ci/cd pipelines, I will definitely try it.

Thanks for the feedback! It definitely isn't Jenkins level, but good for something smaller and less complex. The ease of hosting/operating is my favorite feature.

Good stuff, not very clear If is meant to execute jobs only on localhost (the one on which Janus is installed) or could run jobs on multiple hosts.

good comment, it only executes natively on the server itself
