Astraea manages Linux server updates from one dashboard
Astraea is a , open-source tool for managing updates across multiple Linux servers. Unlike a basic shell script that runs updates and emails the result, it keeps a history, traces errors, and monitors packages across different machines. Its setup connects a central dashboard to each server and shows which systems need updates.
Zabbix integration automatically sets windows during patching, reducing . A reporting engine lets operators combine several search fields to audit their servers and export the results as CSV files. It also supports automatic alerts through Discord webhooks.
It is designed as a faster and simpler homelab alternative to the powerful but heavy and paid Red Hat Satellite.
