A tiny "desired state configuration" library.
Project description
Tiny Desired State Configuration
A set of Python classes designed to facilitate repeatable machine provisioning, with flexibility to handle permutations based on tags. Designed for linux and unix machines, not tested for compatibility on Windows.
Design Principles
Python 2 and 3 compatible
MacOS still ships with Python 2.7, Ubuntu 18.04 ships with ~3.6.
No external dependencies
Intended to just work when pulled down onto a fresh system. Optimally intended to be included as a submodule in a "dotfiles" type repository.
Simple beats all
Designed as the primary benefit over simply using shell scripts.
Boundaries
The following features are out of bounds, in order to fulfill the "tiny" aspect of the project's name:
- Stateful operations, including:
- Automatic reversion of states when a tag is no longer applied
- Automatically skipping applied states unless changes were made to the state
- Automatic dependency order resolution
If you need any of the above features, consider using a more fully-featured orchestration management package, such as SaltStack.
