I wrote this script during the grueling process of installing and setting up an email server. It perfectly reproduces my successful steps to ensure the same setup time and time again, now with many improvements.
I'm glad to say that dozens, hundreds of people have now used it and there is a sizeable network of people with email servers thanks to this script.
I've linked this file on Github to a shorter, more memorable address on my website so you can get it on your machine with this short command:
curl -LO lukesmith.xyz/emailwiz.sh
When prompted by a dialog menu at the beginning, select "Internet Site", then give your full domain without any subdomain, i.e. lukesmith.xyz.
Debian (and derivatives) specific.
The free Zapier/IFTTT alternative for developers to automate your workflows based on Github actions. Connect your favorite apps, data, and APIs, receive notifications of actions as they occur, sync files, collect data, and more. YAML file to build workflows.
Unfortunately, it's written with node.js.
I wonder if other Git hosting services that have similar actions-like functionality could be used..
A conditional execution system and scheduler. Pretty much a self-hosted IFTTT. So far it doesn't have a lot of modules but that'll probably change at some point. Already following.
This is a set of scripts supplementing the btrfs filesystem and aims to automate a few maintenance tasks. This means the scrub, balance, trim or defragmentation.
Each of the tasks can be turned on/off and configured independently. The default config values were selected to fit the default installation profile with btrfs on the root filesystem.
Overall tuning of the default values should give a good balance between effects of the tasks and low impact of other work on the system. If this does not fit your needs, please adjust the settings.
It's in the AUR, too.
ActiveWorkflow is an intelligent process automation platform that uses software agents; autonomous entities that act on schedule or react to external triggers. These unsupervised agents connect to APIs, process information, perform routine tasks, and enable you to automate internal or external workflows.
A fork of Huginn optimized for business use. Incompatible with Huginn mainline.
Remote agent API: https://docs.activeworkflow.org/remote-agent-api/
Python module for building custom agents: https://docs.activeworkflow.org/activeworkflow-agent-python/
Beehive is an event and agent system, which allows you to create your own agents that perform automated tasks triggered by events and filters. It is modular, flexible and really easy to extend for anyone. It has modules (we call them Hives), so it can interface with, talk to, or retrieve information from Twitter, Tumblr, Email, IRC, Jabber, RSS, Jenkins, Hue - to name just a few. Check out the full list of available Hives in our Wiki.
A single command sets up a brand new Ubuntu 16.04 server running a wide variety of anti-censorship software that can completely mask and encrypt all of your Internet traffic. Uses Vagrant and Ansible to automate the process, from creation of OS image to deployment. Generates documentation as an HTML page to send to whomever you want to use the VPN server. Sets up a verified mirror of all the software the user might need, including VPN clients. Even implements techniques for evading some network blocking methods.
A collection of applications able to interact with websites, without requiring the user to open them in a browser. It also provides well-defined APIs to talk to websites lacking one.

Tries to focus on quality of results. Multiple interfaces.
Jarvis Ā is an ultra-light and multilingual voice assistant. Designed for home automation, it can run onĀ energy efficient systems (eg Raspberry Pi). Very easy to use, it leaves you the choice of recognition engineĀ andĀ speech synthesis and installs them for you. It is extremely customizable, including via the addition of plugins. French and English.
Vagrant is a utility for automating the deployment of virtualized environments using VirtualBox v4.x. It helps create and configure lightweight, portable virtual instances in a reproducable (i.e., scriptable) fashion. Written in Ruby.
A non-interactive system for automating the installation of Debian (and derivative) systems, sort of like Redhat's Kickstart or Solaris' Jumpstart. Used for unattended mass deployment (machine cloning). Centralizes deployment and configuration management. Can also be used to build out virtual machines. Can even set up LVM and RAID on new machines!
Cuckoo is a system emulator written in Python for analyzing malware. It automates much of the process of reverse engineering malware samples, such as tracing execution, snapshotting memorry, tracing API and function calls, and dumping network traffic. Generates reports at the end of execution. Modular design, so it's easily customizable.
Fabric is a Python module which lets you write scripts in Python that carry out just about any administrative task you might need to carry out without having to fuss with os.shell(), .popen(), or anything else. SSH's into a system (even localhost) and does what you tell it to.
A curated list of awesome tools and software for sysadmins.
