dagucloud / dagu
Self-hostable workflow orchestrator for teams whose main work isn't orchestration. Declarative YAML over your scripts, SSH commands, containers, etc; keep workflows separate from business logic. One binary, no database, runs on limited H/W resources. Alternative to Airflow / Cron / Job Scheduler.
Why this job: topics: mcp-server, mcp-gateway, mcp
What it does
- Observability. Shared workflows and scheduling with clear visualizations, status tracking, and logs in the Web UI.
- Language-agnostic. No framework required. Define workflow steps using shell commands, Docker containers, Kubernetes Jobs, SQL queries, HTTP requests, and any other tool via official and third-party Dagu Actions.
- Build workflows. Reuse a step's result when its command and files have not changed. Dagu can also infer dependencies from matching file paths.
- Reproducibility. Reproducible runs with pinned tools, plus automatic installation and caching on workers, eliminating the need to manually install dependencies on the server or workers.
- Human Tasks. Pause a workflow for acknowledgement or typed operator input, then expose the response to downstream steps.
