About BISOS — ByStar Internet Services Operating System

Layered on top of Debian, BISOS: (By* Internet Services Operating System) is a unified and universal framework for developing both internet services and software-service continuums that use internet services. See Bootstrapping ByStar, BISOS and Blee for information about getting started with BISOS.

bisos.facter/ is a small piece of a much bigger picture. BISOS is a foundation for The Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem which is described as a cure for losses of autonomy and privacy that we are experiencing in a book titled: Nature of Polyexistentials

Uses of bisos.facter

Within BISOS, bisos.cmdb uses bisos.facter for Configuration Management DataBase purposes.

bisos.facter as an Example of Command Services (PyCS)

bisos.facter can be used locally on command-line or remotely as a service. bisos.facter is a PyCS multi-unit command-service. PyCS is a framework that converges developement of CLI and Services. PyCS is an alternative to FastAPI, Typer and Click.

bisos.facter uses the PyCS Framework to:

1. Provide access to facter information through python namedtuple

2. Provide local access to facter information on CLI

3. Provide remote access to facter information through remote invocation of python Expection Complete Operations using rpyc.

4. Provide remote access to facter information on CLI

What is unique in the PyCS Framework is that these four models are all a single abstraction.
