Software Projects
In addition to hosted services, BlackieOps also maintains a collection of in-house software solutions written from scratch to solve more specific needs.
blackieops / incert
incert provides an easy script-based approach to maintaining an internal, offline certificate authority with OpenSSL and bash.
blackieops / deploy-app
Extremely simple deploy lifecycle tool based on a couple shell scripts. Facilitates versioned deploys across self-run infrastructure using standard Unix tools. Perfect for small or hobby deployments.
blackieops / captum
A full-solution knowledge base platform for managing both internal and external documentation with advanced access controls.
DevOps Projects
Automation encourages modular approaches to deployment, which means many parts of our DevOps stack can be shared. These are some of those parts.
blackieops / apexredirector
A small Docker container that will redirect all requests that hit it to the www subdomain of the requested domain.
blackieops / roadwarrior-gateway
An Ansible role for rapid deployment of a tunneling OpenVPN server to use on untrusted networks.
blackieops / base
An Ansible role for bootstrapping any Linux-based server with best practice configuration and various useful libraries and packages.

Websites
In addition to infrastructure and web applications, BlackieOps also hosts, and in some cases authors, content-driven websites.

The website that provides educational guides on how to deploy other websites.
