NAME

Rex::WebUI - Simple web frontend for rex (Remote Execution), using Mojolicious. Easily deploy or manage servers via a web interface.

SYNOPSIS

  rex-webui daemon

  # or if you prefer using hypnotoad
  hypnotoad bin/rex-webui

and point your browser at http://localhost:3000

DESCRIPTION

This is an installable web application that provides a front end to Rex projects (see http://rexify.org)

Almost unlimited functionality is available via Rex, perfect for deploying servers and managing clusters, or anything you can automate via ssh.

Build multiple Rexfiles (one per project) and register them in webui.conf

The web interface allows to you browse and run tasks, and records a history of running and completed tasks.

A small SQLite db is used to store the history.
