GitHub Actions Starter Kit for Sysadmins
10 annotated GitHub Actions workflow YAML files purpose-built for IT ops tasks — automated patch checks, server health pings, backup validation notifications, SSL cert expiry alerts, and dependency audits — with a setup guide for sysadmins who've never touched CI/CD.
You already automate. You've got cron jobs for patch checks, backup validation, disk monitoring — the usual ops coverage. The problem isn't knowing *what* to automate. It's that every GitHub Actions tutorial assumes you're trying to deploy a React app. This kit takes the other side of that bridge: 10 ready-to-deploy workflow YAML files purpose-built for ops tasks. Not CI/CD for developers. Scheduled infrastructure work for sysadmins. Each workflow is annotated line-by-line — not just *what* it does, but *why* it's written that way. Drop one into your repo, update the variables at the top, and it runs. No digging through documentation, no adapting app-deployment examples to ops contexts. The included setup guide explains how GitHub Actions differs from cron, how to register a self-hosted runner in ten minutes, and how to wire Slack alerts so you get pinged when something needs attention — not when you remember to check a log file.
