I've added Remote Runbooks to RebootX, a mobile app for managing cloud and on-prem infrastructure, available on iOS and Android (freemium). The idea is simple: when PagerDuty wakes you up, many incidents boil down to executing the same sequence of SSH commands or operational steps. Instead of opening a laptop, you can execute a predefined runbook directly from your phone. Very usefyl when you're on the go. The scripts are retrieved from the server at `/usr/local/sbin/rebootx/runbooks`, also via SSH. If a script is prefixed with `__` (2 underscores), it's considered dangerous and the app warns you about it and ask for confirmation before executing it. Some will argue that with the perfect infra, you don't have to do all of this. By experience, none of us have the perfect infra so SSH-ing into the server (e.g VPS) is often required. Happy to hear about your feedback or ideas of improvement. |
