oPBWeb Manual
Overview
oPBWeb is the web interface for creating, editing, building and distributing opsi packages for opsi 4.3. It succeeds opsi PackageBuilder and ScriptEditor and combines both tools in the browser: you maintain a package’s control data, edit the opsi-script files with syntax highlighting, autocompletion and help, build the .opsi file and install it directly on the depots of your opsi server.
All packages are stored centrally in oPBWeb, with all versions and files. Long-running actions such as import, build or install run as jobs on the server; you follow their progress live in the interface.
