Flowctl – Open-source self-service workflow automation platform
Flowctl is a self-service platform that gives users secure access to complex workflows, all in a single binary. These workflows could be anything, granting SSH access to an instance, provisioning infra, or custom business process automation. The executor paradigm in flowctl makes it domain-agnostic. This initial release includes: - SSO with OIDC and RBAC - Execution on remote nodes via SSH (fully agentless) - Approvals - Cron-based scheduling - Flow editor UI - Encrypted credentials and secrets store - Docker and Script executors - Namespaces I built this because I needed a simple tool to…
In plain words
Flowctl is an open-source self-service workflow automation platform distributed as a single binary. It enables users to securely access and execute complex workflows such as provisioning infrastructure, granting SSH access, or automating business processes. The platform includes SSO with OIDC, role-based access control, remote execution via SSH, approval workflows, scheduling, a visual flow editor, and encrypted credential storage. It supports Docker and script executors and operates without requiring agents on remote nodes.

This initial release includes: - SSO with OIDC and RBAC - Execution on remote nodes via SSH (fully agentless) - Approvals - Cron-based scheduling - Flow editor UI - Encrypted credentials and secrets store - Docker and Script executors - Namespaces I built this because I needed a simple tool to manage my homelab while traveling, something that acts as a UI for scripts. At work, I was also looking for tools to turn repetitive ops/infra tasks into self-service offerings. I tried tools like Backstage and Rundeck, but they were either too complex, or the OSS versions lacked important features. Flowctl can simply be described as a pipeline (like CI/CD systems) that people can trigger on-demand with custom inputs. Would love to hear how you might use something like this!

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
