Ability to have a sandbox and run scripts on a schedule
There are many scripts that need to run on a schedule to populate information within Hudu.
I was just thinking, it would be great if instead of firing up a different computer/instance somewhere that runs these scripts, it would be awesome to actually do it within Hudu.
e.g. have administration > scripts, the ability to add Powershell/Bash/other? and then set a schedule.
It would also be great to have a sandbox like area to make these update a dummy company easily for "what if" scenarios before touching the real companies.

I was thinking about this the other day as well. There is a powershell docker container. The concern I had is doing it in a secure way so you don't risk compromising your whole system.

Luke Whitelock: Security scares the **** out of me, but, we are already sticking credentials now in Hudu, so, it's not much more of a stretch.
I also had another request here - https://hudu.canny.io/feature-requests/p/securitylockdown-official-support - so, maybe it can be linked.
I also saw the powershell container and that's what got me thinking about it! Some way of just being able to upload scripts and run them direct on the Hudu "box" every hour or few hours would be great without having to worry about something else to maintain.
Bonus food for thought - if it was somehow linked to Hudu deeper - e.g. the ability to use fields/assets as placeholders to fill in variables or credentials (if required) - that would be awesome…

William H.: Absolutely you would want to be able to pass in variables, especially passwords so you don't end up hardcoding things.
