OliveTin

OliveTin provides a web‑based interface that lets users trigger predefined Linux shell commands safely and simply. Commands are listed as buttons or forms in a responsive UI that works on desktops, tablets and phones, and the configuration is expressed in a single YAML file. The system is self‑hosted, open‑source under AGPL‑3.0, and runs with minimal resource usage, using only a few megabytes of RAM and little CPU.

Typical users include administrators who want to expose routine tasks—such as restarting services, running backup scripts, or opening temporary SSH access—to less technical people without granting full shell access. The interface also supports dropdown arguments and templating, allowing complex commands to be presented as easy‑to‑use forms that can be accessed from touchscreen panels or mobile devices.

OliveTin is distributed as a Go binary and a lightweight container image, includes dark mode and accessibility compliance, and is tested with unit tests and style checks. It can be extended by any shell script or command line tool, making it a flexible front‑end for automating server‑side operations.
