Open software for practical infrastructure

Zoxality projects focus on practical Linux infrastructure, server administration and automation.

Zoxality DQC — Debian Quick Config

DQC is a terminal-based configuration and provisioning utility for Debian servers. It brings networking, hostname configuration, routes, updates, standard administration tools and optional server functions into one consistent workflow.

DQC attempts to detect existing configuration and installed components before changes are proposed. Dependencies are selected automatically when required. Before changes are applied, a summary is shown and a detailed log is retained after the run.

Current development areas

• Network and hostname configuration
• Routes and interface management
• System updates and baseline configuration
• Standard administration tools
• Optional server roles and components
• Dependency detection
• Repeatable configuration workflows
• Logging and change summaries

Status: Active development.

Debian Quick Config is Zoxality's terminal-based configuration and provisioning tool for Debian systems.

The goal is to make a newly installed or existing Debian server easier to inspect, configure and reproduce without hiding what is being changed.

Consistent server configuration

DQC combines common initial configuration tasks into one workflow. It can inspect the current system, present detected values and allow the administrator to change only what should differ from the existing configuration.

Designed around detection first

Before proposing changes, DQC attempts to discover existing network configuration, hostname settings, routes and installed components. Optional functions can pull in required dependencies automatically.

Review before changes

A summary is presented before changes are applied. After the run, DQC retains a detailed log so that the resulting server configuration can be reviewed and reproduced.

Development status

DQC is under active development. Interfaces, available modules and installation logic may change before stable releases are published.

Zoxality develops software with an emphasis on maintainability, predictable behaviour and practical operation.

Development principles

• Understand the existing system before changing it.
• Prefer explicit configuration over hidden behaviour.
• Make changes reviewable and reproducible.
• Keep dependencies visible.
• Design for both individual servers and larger environments.
• Publish source, documentation and issue tracking where possible.

Contributing

Public contribution guidelines will be published with each repository. Development enquiries can currently be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Bug reports

Until public issue trackers are available, bug reports can be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Official Zoxality source code, releases, technical documentation and issue tracking will be published through our repositories.

Repository structure

Each public project will have its own source repository together with release information and technical documentation. Shared tooling and infrastructure components may be published separately where that makes maintenance and reuse clearer.

DQC repository

The public repository for Zoxality DQC is being prepared. The repository link will be published here when the project is ready for external use and contribution.

Releases

Stable releases will be clearly marked. Development builds and experimental functions may change without compatibility guarantees.

Issues and security

Normal defects should be reported through the project's public issue tracker once available. Security vulnerabilities must be reported privately to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
