cofounder/cto @ Onu here! Thanks for this feedback. We're working on a fully self-hosted version of Onu for this use case. Currently users can opt into self-hosting their scripts within their own cloud, but these scripts are still triggered by our hosted frontend (with some auth). Allowing users to self-host the Onu frontend is on our roadmap.
Re: bash scripts - we chose to focus on backend scripts so that engineers can utilize existing business logic since these tend to be helper functions & classes written in the backend language of their application. We're open to supporting bash scripts in the future - would this be something that would be helpful in your org?
- freedomben 3y agoNot GP, but without supporting bash scripts the tool isn't very useful to us
- hunter2_ 3y agoAt the risk of an extreme facepalm moment given the {obvious danger, code smell, worst practice, etc.} I still feel compelled to ask: don't the languages already supported offer an execution gateway (like the backtick operator or shell_exec() in php) such that an extremely lightweight wrapper would allow this to run your bash scripts?
- PetahNZ 3y agoNot to mention most of my bash scripts are just wrappers around calling some other binary executables
- xeromal 3y ago100% but I assume they are requesting first-class support.
- slumos 3y agoWell, from the description I gathered the service was going to “TURN (existing) scripts INTO internal tools”. Not “provide a front-end to a framework where you write brand new code to integrate with your business logic”… The first mode seems to add a relatively large amount of value for relatively low effort given the management scripts that already exist. The second seems more like a framework only useful for processes you spend the effort to migrate. Was hoping to see a Rundeck competitor but got an Internal competitor instead?
- mkoryak 3y agoPeople who write bash scripts well and people who write nodejs scripts are likely different groups that will want very different things from this service.
- Too 3y agoIf that’s all you want you might as well use Jenkins or a myriad of other similar tools. It’s free and self hosted.
