A companion repository to ctrl-exec providing ready-built plugins across three categories: management interfaces, agent scripts, and auth hooks.

ctrl-exec is a Perl machine-to-machine remote script execution system using mTLS for transport security. It allows a control host to run allowlisted scripts on remote agents over HTTPS, with no SSH involved. This repository provides the ecosystem of integrations that build on that foundation.

Each plugin is self-contained and independently usable. There is no dependency between plugins, and no requirement to use more than one.

ce-api-plugins/ : Tools and interfaces for operators and systems that interact with ctrl-exec via the HTTP API or the CLI. Includes browser-based API interfaces, client libraries, collection files for HTTP tools, and CLI wrappers.

ce-agent-plugins/ : Ready-built scripts deployable to ctrl-exec agents. Each script is installed via the agent's scripts.conf allowlist and executed by ctrl-exec Scripts cover common management tasks across a range of services and operating system functions.

ce-auth-plugins : Auth hooks for deployment on ctrl-exec or agent hosts. Each hook reads request context from stdin as JSON and controls access by exit code. Hooks integrate ctrl-exec with external identity and credential systems.

Full documentation for each category is in its own guide:

• ce-api-plugins/README.md
• ce-agent-plugins/README.md
• ce-auth-pluginsREADME.md

A working ctrl-exec installation is required. ctrl-exec runs on Debian, Ubuntu, and Alpine Linux. For installation and initial setup, see the ctrl-exec repository.

Individual plugins may have their own dependencies; these are documented in each plugin's README.

Contributions are welcome. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before submitting a plugin. Every plugin must pass the validation script before a pull request will be accepted:

tools/validate-plugin <category>/<plugin-name>

Each plugin carries its own licence file. See the LICENSE file within each plugin directory.
