Open-source ops automation with workflows and monitoring
xyOps is an open-source operations automation platform for self-hosted teams. Schedule jobs, build visual workflows, monitor servers, trigger alerts, capture snapshots, and coordinate incident response from one app. The open-source version includes every app feature, including SSO. Paid plans are support subscriptions, not feature licenses.
I built xyOps because I kept seeing technical teams stitch together the same pile of tools: cron jobs, shell scripts, workflow builders, monitoring dashboards, web hooks, and incident notes.
xyOps brings those pieces closer together. You can schedule jobs, build visual workflows, run automation across a server fleet, monitor those servers, trigger alerts, capture snapshots, open tickets, and launch remediation jobs from the same self-hosted app.
The part I care about most: the full app is open source under BSD-3-Clause. There is no separate enterprise fork, no hidden feature set, no license key, and no telemetry pushed back to us. Paid plans are support subscriptions only. The free/open-source version has the entire app feature set, SSO included.
A few things xyOps can do:
- schedule jobs across one server or a fleet - build workflows visually - run plugins written in any language via JSON over STDIO - collect server metrics with xySat - trigger alerts and actions - capture point-in-time server snapshots - create lightweight incident tickets - store secrets, buckets, roles, API keys, and web hooks
It is not meant to be the biggest SaaS app connector. Tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n have much larger integration catalogs. xyOps is focused more on infrastructure and operations work: running jobs on real servers, watching those servers, and preserving enough context to understand what happened when something breaks.
I would love feedback from the Product Hunt community, especially on the positioning, onboarding flow, docs, and whether the support-only pricing model feels fair.
Thanks for taking a look.
