> [!CAUTION]
> This project is in active development and does not provide any stable release
> yet, you can expect breaking changes until our first real release!
With Gexec we are building a generic execution platform for Ansible, OpenTofu
and Terraform. Besides that it should be possible to execute any kind of script
which is supported by [Asdf][asdf] plugins. Some plugins are installed as part
of the containers, if you are installing this project differently it is up to
you to install and configure [Asdf][asdf].
## Install
You can download prebuilt binaries from the [GitHub releases][releases] or from
our [download site][downloads]. Besides that we also prepared repositories for
DEB and RPM packages which can be found at [Baltorepo][baltorepo]. If you prefer
to use containers you could use our images published on [GHCR][ghcr]. You are a
Mac user? Just take a look at our [homebrew formula][homebrew]. If you need
further guidance how to install this take a look at our [documentation][docs].
## Build
If you are not familiar with [Nix][nix] it is up to you to have a working
environment for Go (>= 1.24.0) and Nodejs (22.x) as the setup won't we covered
within this guide. Please follow the official install instructions for
[Go][golang] and [Nodejs][nodejs]. Beside that we are using [go-task][gotask] to
define all commands to build this project.
```console
git clone https://github.com/gexec/gexec.git
cd gexec
task fe:install fe:build be:build
./bin/gexec-server -h
```
If you got [Nix][nix] and [Direnv][direnv] configured you can simply execute
the following commands to get al dependencies including [go-task][gotask] and
the required runtimes installed. You are also able to directly use the process
manager of [devenv][devenv]:
```console
cat << EOF > .envrc
use flake . --impure --extra-experimental-features nix-command
EOF
direnv allow
```
We are embedding all the static assets into the binary so there is no need for
any webserver or anything else beside launching this binary.
## Development
To start developing on this project you have to execute only a few commands. To
start development just execute those commands in different terminals:
```console
task watch:server
task watch:runner
task watch:frontend
```
The development server of the backend should be running on
[http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) while the frontend should be
running on [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173). Generally it supports
hot reloading which means the services are automatically restarted/reloaded on
code changes.
If you got [Nix][nix] configured you can simply execute the [devenv][devenv]
command to start the frontend, backend, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Minio:
```console
devenv up
```
