xyOps is a self-hosted open-source operations automation platform for scheduling jobs, running visual workflows, monitoring servers and fleet activity, detecting alerts, capturing contextual snapshots, and coordinating incident response. It is presented as the successor to Cronicle, with a migration path that supports importing Cronicle data and retaining compatible plugins. The platform is built for teams that want scheduling, observability, alerting, and response in one system rather than across separate tools. It supports running jobs on one server, a group of servers, or an entire fleet, and it includes workflow features such as branching, joins, reusable sub-workflows, human approval, replay, and data passing. It also provides live dashboards, custom monitors, metrics, process and network inspection, contextual alerts, automatic server snapshots, tickets, webhooks, and remediation actions. The software is fully open source under the BSD 3-Clause license, self-hosted, and described as having no telemetry or feature gates. The intended audience includes operators, DevOps teams, infrastructure teams, and organizations that need production support, SSO assistance, migration help, or air-gap deployment support. The access model includes a free self-hosted version with community support and paid support subscriptions for Professional and Enterprise plans, while the application features remain available in the open-source code.

What it is best for

DevOps, site reliability, infrastructure, and operations teams managing scheduled jobs, workflows, server fleets, monitoring, alerts, and incident response in self-hosted or air-gapped environments.

Advantages

  • Combines job scheduling, visual workflows, server monitoring, contextual alerts, snapshots, tickets, and incident response in one platform.
  • Provides visual workflows with branching, parallel execution, joins, reusable sub-workflows, human approval, replay, and data passing.
  • Runs jobs on individual servers, server groups, or entire fleets with live logs and progress tracking.
  • Captures metrics, processes, network connections, active jobs, and alert state in server snapshots.
  • Supports Cronicle data import and compatible plugins for migration.
  • Provides a lightweight worker and metrics agent for Linux, macOS, Windows, and Docker environments.
  • The complete application is available under the BSD 3-Clause license without feature gates or license keys.
  • Supports self-hosted and air-gapped deployments without telemetry.
  • Offers professional and enterprise support for private tickets, deployment guidance, migration help, faster response targets, and direct creator access.

Limitations

  • The free self-hosted tier includes community support, while private support and defined response targets require paid subscriptions.
  • xyOps is a separate application from Cronicle rather than a drop-in upgrade, so migrations require testing and data import.
