What is it?

Spug is an operations platform for small and medium-sized teams that manages servers without installing an agent on each host. It groups hosts, imports them from cloud providers or Excel files, and checks connectivity in batch. From the browser you can run commands across many hosts, open a web terminal, and upload or download files.

For delivery, Spug supports custom build and deployment with review flow, canary release and rollback, plus file distribution from one host to many. Pipelines chain parameter, build, remote command, data transfer and notification nodes into a workflow with conditional branches. Other modules include scheduled tasks, a key-value and text configuration center, site, port, process and script monitoring, and alarms through email, WeChat, DingTalk, WeChat Work and Feishu.

Spug is deployed with Docker Compose and offers a bilingual English and Simplified Chinese interface. Its stack is Django on the back end and React on the front end, with Redis required.
