Semaphore UI is a modern web interface for managing popular DevOps tools.
Semaphore UI allows you to:
- Easily run Ansible playbooks, Terraform and OpenTofu code, as well as Bash and PowerShell scripts.
- Receive notifications about failed tasks.
- Control access to your deployment system.
Key Concepts
- Projects is a collection of related resources, configurations, and tasks.
- Task Templates are reusable definitions of tasks that can be executed on demand or scheduled.
- Task is a specific instance of a job or operation executed by Semaphore.
- Schedules allow you to automate task execution at specified times or intervals.
- Inventory is a collection of target hosts (servers, virtual machines, containers, etc.) on which tasks will be executed.
- Variable Group refers to a configuration context that holds sensitive information such as environment variables and secrets used by tasks during execution.
