Versions:
dops 0.13.1, published by RunDops, is a Developer Operations TUI that centralizes the discovery, configuration, and execution of operational runbooks without leaving the terminal. The application presents an interactive curses-style interface for navigating catalogued shell scripts, automatically exposing their typed parameters through validated prompts and drop-down controls so operators can supply values safely rather than editing raw commands. Each runbook can be annotated with a risk level, giving teams an at-a-glance indication of potential impact before execution, while an integrated encrypted vault keeps secrets such as API keys or database credentials out of shell history and environment variables. When graphical access is preferred, the same catalogue is served through an embedded web UI reachable on localhost, letting less terminal-oriented colleagues launch tasks from a browser. For organizations experimenting with AI-assisted workflows, dops bundles an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes runbooks as callable tools to large-language-model agents, allowing automated reasoning about which operational task to run next. Since its debut three public versions have appeared, with 0.13.1 representing the current stable release featuring refinements to parameter validation, vault crypto, and concurrent runbook isolation. Typical use cases include on-call engineers restarting micro-services, database administrators triggering verified backup or migration scripts, and platform teams publishing golden paths for environment provisioning that anyone can follow without deep domain knowledge. The program sits in the System / Shell Tools category and runs on any modern Windows, macOS, or Linux system that already has a supported terminal emulator. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
