Configuration management
Every server, exactly as described.
Describe packages, files, services and templates in readable YAML. Run it on one host or a hundred, see exactly what changed and restore any earlier version.
Before & after
What changes on day one
Without PlainShip
- Snowflake servers configured by hand
- Shell scripts nobody dares to re-run
- No idea what changed on which host
- A separate control machine to look after
With PlainShip
- Readable playbooks your whole team can review
- Idempotent modules that are safe to re-run
- ok / changed / failed counts for every host
- Runs from the dashboard, CLI or a schedule
How it works
Four steps, no agents
-
Write the playbook
Insert tasks from 17 modules with live validation as you type.
-
Dry run it
Check mode shows what would change, host by host.
-
Apply it
Run on a group, limit to hosts or start at any task.
-
Version every change
Diff and restore any save — with author and change note.
