niagara 0.0.0.8

A simple ricing tool for Linux systems.

Niagara

Niagara is a ricing tool made for Linux systems. It aims to be a universal tool that can be used on multiple distributions, as it does not rely on a singular package manager. Niagara manages configs by taking a JSON file that contains some fields such as packages, dotfile, wallpaper, etc.

How does Niagara handle packages?

Niagara has a list of packages that you can place inside the configuration file, and then it goes and checks it against the corresponding package for your linux distribution. A good example would be the following:

{
    "name": "doas",
    "arch": "opendoas",
    "void": "opendoas"
}

This allows us to support multiple distributions, whilst making it a write once, run anywhere style of program.
