sh
KEJILION.SH is a shell script automation toolkit for Linux system management, monitoring, and deployment. It bundles Docker management, LNMP stack installation, network optimization, backup/restore, and system administration utilities in a one-click interface supporting 10+ Linux distributions.

What sh is
Bash-based automation suite covering system diagnostics (CPU, memory, disk, bandwidth), network testing (speedtest, latency, packet loss), Docker container orchestration with custom commands, LNMP (Nginx/MySQL/PHP) stack provisioning, WAF/anti-CC defense, BBR congestion control, and scheduled backup/migration workflows across Debian, CentOS, Alpine, Arch, and others.

Best use cases
Implementation considerations
- Remote execution pattern (bash <(curl -sL kejilion.sh)) carries inherent supply-chain risk; validate script integrity offline and review before deployment on production systems.
- Supports 10 Linux distros but behavior varies by package manager (apt vs. yum), kernel version, and systemd configuration; test thoroughly on target OS versions before fleet deployment.
- Bash 4.x+ and standard coreutils (curl, sed, awk) required; some edge cases (BSD sed, Alpine musl) may cause parsing errors—pre-test on specific distro versions.
- Script modifies system-wide settings (firewall, kernel tuning, package installation); ensure change management approval and backup procedures before execution on production.
- Auto-update mechanism may pull breaking changes; version pinning or staged rollouts recommended for critical infrastructure.
When to avoid it — and what to weigh
- Enterprise Production at Scale — Shell script-based tooling lacks the auditability, version control depth, and rollback guarantees required in high-compliance or large-scale infrastructure. Use infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible) instead.
- Multi-Region or Kubernetes-Native Deployments — KEJILION.SH targets traditional VPS/VM models and single-host Docker. It is not designed for Kubernetes clusters, multi-cloud orchestration, or stateless container registry pipelines.
- Need for Real-Time Observability & Alerting — The toolkit provides basic system info snapshots but no persistent metrics collection, alert routing, or time-series visualization. Integrate separately with Prometheus, Grafana, or DataDog for production observability.
- Strict Code Review & Security Scanning Requirements — Bash scripts with 75 open issues and unverified remote-execution model (bash <(curl)) may not pass security gating for regulated industries without full source audit and sandboxed testing.
License & commercial use
Licensed under Apache License 2.0 (Apache-2.0), a permissive OSI-approved license allowing commercial use, modification, and distribution with proper attribution and liability disclaimers.
Apache 2.0 permits commercial use without royalty. However, downstream liability for system changes (firewall modifications, kernel tuning, data loss from backup failures) rests with the operator. No warranty is provided; review license disclaimers and conduct isolated testing before production deployment. Consider legal review if integrating into a SaaS or managed service offering.

Remote execution (curl | bash) is a known attack vector; ensure network transport is over HTTPS and source is trusted. Script handles system credentials (database passwords, SSH keys) and firewall rules—audit code for secrets hardcoding and plaintext logging. WAF/anti-CC features rely on iptables/ufw; effectiveness depends on underlying OS kernel version and DDoS scope. No published security audit, vulnerability reporting process, or CVE tracking evident; request security contact and incident response procedure before production use.
Alternatives to consider
Ansible + Community Playbooks
Provides idempotent, declarative infrastructure-as-code with version control, multi-host orchestration, and extensive third-party role library. Better for teams requiring audit trails, enterprise support, and heterogeneous stack management.
Terraform + cloud-init / Packer
Cloud-native approach enabling immutable infrastructure, multi-cloud support, and reproducible provisioning. Preferred for CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code drift detection, and managed backup/restore workflows.
cPanel / Plesk / DirectAdmin
GUI-driven commercial hosting control panels with built-in LNMP, SSL, backup, DNS, and support. Better for non-technical users and hosters requiring customer self-service portals, though less flexible for DevOps workflows.
