Introduction: Explore the DefenceDev Public GitHub Repository
I’m excited to announce the launch of the official DefenceDev public GitHub repository: https://github.com/defence-dev/defencedev-public.
This repository complements my blog articles on DefenceDev.com by providing ready-to-use scripts, infrastructure automation examples, and practical implementations for network engineers, system administrators, DevOps professionals, and IT enthusiasts.
Sharing these resources publicly allows me to document my work in a structured way while offering the community reusable examples that save time and solve common challenges in networking, Linux administration, and infrastructure automation.
Repository Structure: Organized for Clarity and Scalability
The DefenceDev repository is carefully organized for ease of navigation. It is structured first by platform or vendor, and then by solution type:
linux/— Monitoring scripts, backup automation, VPN solutions including SoftEther, and system utilities.mikrotik/— Scripts and configurations for MikroTik RouterOS devices.fortigate/— FortiGate firewall examples and automation.automation/— Generic automation scripts for various IT environments.templates/— Ready-made templates for network and infrastructure deployments.
Subdirectory Contents
Each solution directory may include:
- Script or configuration files
- Example configurations
- Solution-specific
README.md - Optional
INSTALLATION.md
This approach ensures the repository remains scalable and easy to maintain as it grows.
Technologies and Use Cases Covered
The repository currently includes examples related to:
- Ubuntu and Linux servers
- Bash scripting
- VPN solutions, including SoftEther
- Backup automation
- Monitoring systems
- Network troubleshooting utilities
- Vendor-specific configurations for MikroTik and FortiGate
These resources are designed to be practical, reusable, and aligned with real-world IT and network engineering scenarios.
Usage Disclaimer: Use Scripts Responsibly
All scripts are provided “as-is”. Before deploying any code in production:
- Review the code carefully
- Adjust configurations to your environment
- Test scripts in a staging environment
- Implement proper logging and monitoring
- Follow your organization’s security policies
This ensures safe and effective use of the repository resources.
Conclusion: A Growing Resource for Network and Infrastructure Automation
The DefenceDev public GitHub repository is a curated collection of scripts, automation examples, and technical implementations referenced in my blog posts.
I plan to continually expand the repository with more tools, configurations, and practical solutions. I encourage feedback, issue reporting, and suggestions directly through the GitHub repository.
Explore the repository, adapt the scripts to your environment, and make it a part of your network and infrastructure toolkit.
