Snapshot from October 2025.

Servers / Operations

• Tasks in Servers board can use Python code to automate
• Backup need to be organized in two parts, see Backups project

Notes

(1) The caller script list-repositories.py is written in Python, but the regeneration can be in any language or just a systemd timer.
(2) SaltStack will transfer in version 3009 to community management a lot of plugins, including those for FreeBSD packages, Vault and SELinux.
