Dagu

Turn scripts into reliable workflows. Schedules, retries, human tasks & a Web UI in one open-source binary. Your code is the engine.

Dagu is GPLv3 and free forever. Unlimited servers, unlimited workers.

If it saved you from one more fragile crontab, a star helps other devs find it:

The boring stuff that keeps 2 a.m. jobs alive, by its real name:

retry_policy · catchup_window · overlap_policy · CRON_TZ · lifecycle handlers · zombie detection

All in plain YAML. All in the free, open-source binary.

[Dagu @DaguHQ]

Same binary, three ways to run it:

1. Single server: dagu start-all, done
2. Temporary workers: one per run, destroyed after
3. Coordinator + workers over gRPC, routed by labels like gpu=true

Start small. Scale out without switching tools.

Your AI agent can now run your workflows.

Dagu ships a built-in MCP server. Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI or any MCP client at /mcp and it can:
• create & edit workflows
• start, stop, retry runs
• read logs

Scoped by API-key roles.

Honest question for ops & data folks:

What's the scariest job still running on a bare crontab in your stack? 👇

Bonus points if nobody remembers who wrote it.

[Dagu @DaguHQ]

From zero to your first workflow in under a minute ⏱

1. curl the installer
2. write hello.yaml
3. dagu start hello.yaml
4. dagu start-all → Web UI on :8080

macOS, Linux, Windows, Docker, Helm, npm.

Status, history, logs and manual reruns all show up in the Web UI.

Start with ONE nightly job, not a platform migration.

Cron has run the world's scripts for 50 years.

It's also why nobody noticed the nightly job failed 3 days ago.

How to modernize cron jobs without rewriting a single script 🧵

Then add what production needs, one key at a time:

• retry_policy per step (limit, interval_sec)
• catchup_window to replay missed runs
• overlap_policy: skip, all or latest
• CRON_TZ=Asia/Jakarta for timezones

[Dagu @DaguHQ]

Most workflow engines make you run a platform before you run a single job: scheduler, webserver, metadata DB, broker, executors.

Dagu is one binary. State lives in local files, so it even works air-gapped.

Install. Write YAML. Run.

Your scripts already work. Running them shouldn't need a platform team.

Dagu = one YAML file + one open-source binary:
→ schedules & retries
→ human approvals
→ logs & a Web UI

No database. No framework.

Your code is the engine. Dagu is the cockpit.
