- [Please report issues on YunoHost bugtracker](https://dev.yunohost.org/projects/yunohost/issues) (no registration needed).
Overview
--------
Initially, the moulinette was an application made for the
[YunoHost](https://yunohost.org/) project in order to regroup all its
related operations into a single program called *moulinette*. Those
operations were available from a command-line interface and a Web server
providing an API. Moreover, the usage of these operations (e.g.
required/optional arguments) was defined into a simple yaml file -
called *actionsmap*. This file was parsed in order to construct an
*ArgumentParser* object and to parse the command arguments to process
the proper operation.
During a long refactoring with the goal of unify both interfaces, the
idea to separate the core of the YunoHost operations has emerged.
The core kept the same name *moulinette* and try to follow the same
initial principle. An [Actions Map](#actions-map) - which defines
available operations and their usage - is parsed and it's used to
process an operation from several unified [Interfaces](#interfaces). It
also supports a configuration mechanism - which allows to restrict an
operation on an interface for example (see
[Authenticators](#authenticators)).
