BrixIT Platform

This is a management platform intended to run on Debian 8 (because systemd) to run webapplications written in several languages.

Currently planned supported platforms:

• Python 2.7
• Python 3.4
• Nodejs
• PHP

Platform works by downloading git (and others soon) repositories in the webinterface and creating "instances" of it. Platform will automatically create a new seperate environment for the webapplication (virtualenv for python for example) and create a systemd unit to run the webapp. It also can automaticaly create a new entry in nginx to reverse proxy the webapplications to port 80 in a subdirectory.

Installing

The install documentation is on platform.brixit.nl

Running

To start the management application:

$ systemctl start platformweb
# The server will start on port 5000

TODO

Not in any order:

• Implement Nodejs platform
• Write unit tests
• Support subdomain proxy instead of directory
• Implement PHP platform
• Add process tree to instance detail page
• Add config file support to instances
• Bind instance settings to config file settings (automatic port change and mountpoint config)
• Add CPU/Memory view to instances
• Add permissions for more users and instances
• Add auth support in reverse proxy
• Add support for proxying external servers
• Add support for SSL termination in proxying (maybe with mozilla's encrypt-the-web support)
• Create Debian package
• Create custom Debian iso
• Support database creation and dependencies for instances
