Watchmaker

Applied Configuration Management

Overview

Watchmaker is a Python package that helps bootstrap a vanilla OS image and apply an OS configuration. Watchmaker itself reads a simple YAML configuration file, which can be hosted on the local filesystem or on a web server.

Complex configuration management (CM) environments may be layered in as part of the provisioning framework. Watchmaker includes a default configuration that will install Salt and a handful Salt Formulas that can be used to harden a system to DISA STIG standards, as well as integrate with common enterprise services.

Documentation

For more information on installing and using Watchmaker, go to https://watchmaker.readthedocs.io.

Alternatively, you can build the docs locally using mkdocs. From the root of the project directory, run:

pip install mkdocs
mkdocs serve

This will start a light-weight web server on http://127.0.0.1:8000 containing the doc pages for Watchmaker. Also, if you edit the source in the docs directory, the web server will update the page dynamically.
