rb — runbooks
Generic, reusable IT procedures and scripts for MSP field work. Fetched onto client workstations during on-site work with short, hand-typeable commands.
Warning
This repository is PUBLIC-READ. It must never contain client-identifying information — no client names, hostnames, IPs, usernames, credentials, or screenshots. Procedures with placeholders only. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the sanitization rule.
Provided as-is, no warranty. Running any script is at your own risk. Contains no client-identifying data by policy.
Using a runbook
Fetch and read on the target workstation:
irm https://gitea.ivangodwin.com/ops/rb/raw/branch/main/<file> | more
Run an executable runbook script directly (scripts live under scripts/):
irm https://gitea.ivangodwin.com/ops/rb/raw/branch/main/scripts/<file>.ps1 | iex
Scripts prompt for anything client-specific via Read-Host — nothing to edit
before running. See scripts/_template.ps1 for the
convention.
Layout & naming
- Runbooks (
.md) live flat at the repo root with short, hand-typeable filenames and light category prefixes. - Scripts (
.ps1) live underscripts/._template.ps1sorts first and is the convention reference, not a runnable runbook. - Meta (
README.md,CONTRIBUTING.md) stays at the root.
Runbook prefixes:
| Prefix | Domain |
|---|---|
win- |
Windows workstation / server |
m365- |
Microsoft 365 / Entra |
od- |
Open Dental |
net- |
Networking |
