Powerpipe on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Powerpipe is Turbot's open source tool for building and running dashboards and benchmarks as code. You describe dashboards, charts, tables and compliance controls in HCL mods, point Powerpipe at a SQL backend, and it renders an interactive dashboard site and grades your resources against controls. It is the modern successor to Steampipe's dashboarding, able to query Postgres, SQLite, DuckDB or MySQL and to layer in Turbot's large open source library of security and compliance mods.

This image ships a bundled sample mod that renders a real security posture dashboard and runs a real compliance benchmark against a local SQLite backend seeded with sample cloud inventory data, so Powerpipe works out of the box with no cloud credentials, no separate database server and no internet. When you are ready, repoint it at your own Steampipe, Postgres, SQLite or DuckDB backend and install official Turbot mods.

Common uses

• Cloud, security and compliance posture dashboards as code
• Running compliance benchmarks against your infrastructure data
• A self hosted home for Turbot's open source mods and custom HCL dashboards
