We built Activepieces to replace Zapier + learnings from last post
What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)

Event-driven Ansible looks awsome
Very cool! This reminds me of some of the event-driven automation tools like Stackstorm, letting you define triggers/events to subscribe to, and then take actions based on a defined rule set.

Workflow automation for smaller use-cases
Closest in the Python world is Stackstorm (massive overkill for a desktop use-case, Linux only), or Dagster (great for data processing, not designed for admin tasks).

Orchestrator self hosted
Node-Red or https://stackstorm.com? Stackstorm seems more geared towards infrastructure whereas Node-Red is more geared towards IOT. Stackstorm also has a web UI, just have to install it separately.

Is idempotence (also) managed server-side?
I have played with StackStorm a little bit, and it could also do what you describe... but it may or may not be over-engineered for your use-case.

How to setup a containerized python environment? Function as a Service or an alternative solution for a Python execution environment.
Firstly, I tried Rundeck and Apache Airflow. They are complete overkill for what I want to do. Then I found Cronicle which is light enough, besides it can pull double duty as a general purpose scheduler.

Important Advisory: PagerDuty Process Automation On Prem / Rundeck Key Pair Misconfiguration
Yesterday we posted a Security Advisory to Github for a critical vulnerability in Rundeck Community and Rundeck Enterprise Docker images, versions 4.0 and earlier. Those Docker images contained a pre-generated SSH key pair in the default file path. If that key was used to configure SSH access to hosts, they would allow access to anyone with the exposed private key.

looking for suggestions for a web interface for ansible with scheduling.
Never used it myself (we're currently working on deploying Tower) but I've heard that Rundeck is the goto for your exact use case: "Tower, but less heavy". I looked at it when evaluating for my current job and it looks like a good middle of the road solution and looks way easier to deploy than AWX. The tradeoff is that since it's not custom built for Ansible you can automate lots of other things with it (like just bash scripts and the like) but you get less of the Ansible-specific integrations and tooling that Tower offers.

Rundeck 3.4.5+ breaks the "Run Job Later" function
Hi! This fix solves the bug, is ready to be included in the next release. Regards.
There is already an open GitHub issue on this, but I wanted to mention it here as it can cause some nasty surprises for those unaware.
