DebOps

DebOps is a Debian-based “data center in a box” for administering hosts with Ansible. It brings together a set of general-purpose Ansible roles in one resource, allowing administrators to manage Debian- or Ubuntu-based hosts across a data center. Its focus is general-purpose host management rather than a single application or service. DebOps is intended for system administrators and other users responsible for Debian or Ubuntu infrastructure who want to manage their environment through Ansible. In the email server category, it can replace Gmail as part of a self-managed infrastructure approach. However, it differs substantially from Gmail: Gmail is an email product, while DebOps is a broader collection of Ansible roles for managing hosts. The available facts do not describe DebOps as a ready-to-use hosted email service, so deploying and administering the underlying Debian or Ubuntu environment remains part of using it.
