DevOps Companion

🛠️ DevOps Companion (Alpha)

DevOps Companion is a developer-oriented plugin that brings DevOps context awareness directly inside your Obsidian vault. It is currently under active development and not yet production-ready.

🚧 Status

⚠️ This plugin is in alpha stage and under active development. Features and structure may change frequently. Use at your own risk.

✨ Features

• 🔍 Automatic Parsing of common DevOps files: Automatically detect and parse popular DevOps configuration files:

  • Docker: .yml, .yaml, Dockerfile
  • Terraform: .tf
  • CI/CD Pipelines: gitlab-ci.yml, github-actions.yml
  • Kubernetes / Helm (coming soon)
  • General configuration & environment files (AI-only):
    .json, .env, .ini, .sh

• Custom folder selection: Choose a folder in your vault that will be watched and scanned.

• File import support: Work with DevOps files not natively supported by Obsidian (e.g., .tf, .yml) via custom path setting.

• Manual scan command: Instantly parse and analyze all matching files.

• Live monitoring: Detects changes in your chosen folder and re-parses files.

• Documentation foundation: Future versions will auto-generate clean, structured Markdown documentation.

🤖 AI-Powered Documentation

Bring clarity to your infrastructure.
DevOps Companion can use AI to rewrite, enhance, and explain your technical files in Markdown — directly inside Obsidian.

Supported AI providers:

You can select your preferred provider in the plugin settings and add multiple API keys.

• Use the “🧪 Test Connection” button to verify your selected provider’s key works correctly.

The plugin automatically checks the appropriate endpoint (e.g., OpenAI, Google, Claude, or Mistral) and confirms if your credentials are valid.

📁 Organized Output Structure

All generated Markdown documentation is neatly stored in subfolders:

Parsed/
 ├── Docker/
 ├── Terraform/
 ├── CI-CD/
 └── General/

Each folder groups documentation by file type, so your vault stays structured and clean.

🧩 How It Works

1. Set a folder in your vault where DevOps files (YAML, Terraform) are stored.
2. The plugin:
   • Scans this folder on launch.
   • Watches for modifications in supported file types.
   • Lets you trigger a scan manually at any time.
   • Enhances the content using AI if enabled.
3. You can also import files into this folder, even if Obsidian doesn't natively support them, and they will be parsed by the plugin.
4. Output Markdown is stored in the appropriate subfolder under /Parsed/.
