CTFreak
🚀 3 Years of Building What Devops Actually Need
Hey everyone 👋!
Since our first Product Hunt launch, CTFreak has grown from a simple task scheduler into a full-blown IT automation platform. Here's what we've shipped:
🔐 Enterprise-Ready Access Control
SSO via OpenID Connect — Google, Microsoft, Okta, you name it
Granular permissions with roles
Teams — group users, assign roles in seconds
📊 Databases & Visual Reporting
Native MySQL & PostgreSQL support — direct connection or SSH tunneling
SQL Script tasks — run SQL/PL-SQL across your databases
SQL Report tasks — turn SQL queries into dashboards with charts (bar, line, pie, tables)
🤖 Automation That Actually Scales
Ansible Playbook tasks — dynamic inventory generated from your nodes
Local command tasks — per-second scheduling, no SSH overhead
PowerShell tasks — automate Windows servers via SSH or WinRM
HTTP Request tasks — hit APIs, webhooks, health endpoints
Parameterized tasks — let your team run tasks with controlled inputs (dropdowns, dates, checkboxes...)
🔗 Integrations That Make Sense
More notifiers: Telegram, MS Teams, Slack, Discord, Email
Issue tracking: GitHub, Jira, Linear, Youtrack — auto-create tickets on failure
Multi-notifier per task — Slack for every run, Jira only on failures? Done.
Incoming webhooks — trigger tasks from GitHub, GitLab, or any HTTP call
🔧 Built for Real Infrastructure
PostgreSQL backend — ditch SQLite when you need to scale
WinRM support — finally, no longer limited to SSH
FreeBSD builds — because not everyone runs Linux or Windows
Node File Explorer — browse your servers like a web-based SFTP client
⚡ Quality of Life
Project constants — stop hardcoding, start centralizing
Smart notifications — alert only when status changes (no more notification storms)
Embedded API docs — always up-to-date, right in your instance
TL;DR: If you're still juggling cron jobs and scattered scripts to monitor your infra — CTFreak was built for you.
