About #

AutoBott is a curated set of Ansible playbooks designed to automate the deployment and maintenance of self-hosted services on Debian-based servers — with limited support for basic desktop setups.

Whether you’re running a homelab or managing a lightweight private cloud, AutoBott simplifies system administration, enhances security, and gets your favorite services running in minutes.

General System Management & Hardening #

• Basic setup: manage the basic setup of your server, users, Locales, hostname etc.
• Monitoring: Use Prometheus, Grafana, SmartD or Monit to monitor and alert on your system status.
• Backup: use borg or goback to automate your backups
• Keep your Samba networks in code as infra

Web services services setup #

• Run a LAMP-like stack with Caddy,PHP-PFM and MariaDB, with good user isolation
• Servarr: install the Servarr Stack
• Personal productivity: Install mediawiki, Docmost or Immich among others
• Protect all the services with Authelia

Game Server #

• Install a Minecraft server

Autobott is only tested on x86 Architecture, don’t expect everything to work on other architectures, e.g. on a Raspberry PI.

This is because Autobott does download binaries that are not packaged in debian.
