Getting it running

Difficulty · hard Time to first run · 1day+

Requires self-hosting the Django backend and React frontend with a database, configuration is in Chinese.

Free to use and modify, but any modified version you run as a network service must also be released as open source under AGPL-3.0.

In plain English

Spug is an open-source operations platform aimed at small to medium-sized companies. It lets a team manage servers and automate common deployment and maintenance tasks from a single web interface, without requiring a software agent to be installed on each server. The README is written in Chinese, and the project documentation and community channels are also primarily in Chinese. The platform groups its functions into several areas. Batch execution lets you run shell commands across many servers at the same time and see the results in the browser. The online terminal feature opens a live command-line session directly in the browser, so you can access any managed server without a separate SSH client. File management supports uploading and downloading files to and from servers through the web interface. On the deployment side, Spug provides a workflow for releasing applications, with the ability to define custom deployment steps. A task scheduler handles recurring or one-off jobs with flexible timing options. A configuration center stores application settings in key-value, plain text, or JSON formats and tracks changes over time with a history view. Monitoring covers website availability, open ports, running processes, and custom checks. When something fails, alerts can be sent through SMS, email, DingTalk, or WeChat. Role-based permissions control what different team members can see and do. The backend is built with Python and Django, and the frontend uses React with an Ant Design interface. A companion notification service called the Push Helper integrates multiple messaging channels so that a single URL call can deliver a message to whichever platform is needed. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and the full source code for both frontend and backend is publicly available.

Prompt 3
How do I configure Spug to send an alert to a DingTalk group when a monitored website returns a non-200 status?
Prompt 4
How do I add a new server to Spug and set up role-based permissions so a developer can only access their own servers?
