CTFreak

CTFreak allows you to:

• Centralize, maintain and schedule various types of tasks:

  • Local command task to run a command directly on the host server.
  • Command task to run the same command on multiple servers (aka nodes) concurrently
  • Shell script task to run the same bash or powershell script on multiple servers concurrently.
  • SQL script task to run the same SQL script on multiple databases concurrently.
  • SQL report task to generate reports with charts from SQL queries.
  • HTTP Request task to call API endpoints (webhook, ping, …).
  • Workflow task to execute other tasks (sequentially or concurrently).

• Receive notifications (slack, teams, telegram, mattermost, discord, email) based on their executions.

• Browse files on all your servers from its web interface.

Some use cases include:

• Get rid of all your crontabs (sysadmin).
• Setting up a self-hosted CI/CD pipeline (devops).
• Update thousands of unix and windows servers (sysadmin).
• Managing distributed computing workflows (data engineers).
• Quickly generate a sales report for your CEO from your e-commerce platform.
• Create parameterized tasks so that business users can run them with restricted options.

• Manually initiating updates using snap refresh ctfreak

This will prevent automatic updates from interrupting tasks that are currently running.
