TuxMate

Capability: TuxMate

Use it when

  • Setting up a fresh Linux machine and needing correct install commands for many apps at once across apt, dnf, pacman, zypper, or nix
  • You switched distros and your old setup script's package names no longer resolve, so you need distro-correct equivalents including AUR, Flatpak, and Snap fallbacks

What it solves

Not the fit when

  • It generates commands only and never executes installs; you must inspect and run scripts yourself
  • No Windows winget support yet (roadmap item)
  • Package mappings can drift as distro repositories change; verify names before running
  • windows package installation
  • unattended server provisioning
  • dotfiles management
  • container image deployment

Install

docker pull ghcr.io/abusoww/tuxmate:latest && docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/abusoww/tuxmate:latest (or use the hosted instance at https://tuxmate.abusov.com)

Invoke

Open http://localhost:3000, select your distro and apps (keyboard navigation and / search supported), then copy or download the generated install command or script and run it yourself after review
