SparrowCI VS Sparrow6

Self-hosted SparrowCI supports GitTea integration - https://github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI/blob/main/reporters/gitea.yaml , now it’s just sending back commit statues ( after CI build finished ) , but let me know if you need anything else. I tested it on my self-hosted installation and it works well.

Hi! Thanks for asking. If you mean SparrowCI pipelines then this is - https://github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI

You can try out SparrowCI (https://github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI) -it’s simple and could be self-hosted. It builds on docker images, so if you spin up an SparrowCI on arm64 host you should be probably good. It’s not possible to have 3 separate CI pipelines but you can organize repo pipeline in such a way that it’s split by 3 or many tasks to cover different parts of your system.

Keep building my own free CI service extendable by many languages including Python, please check out Python examples here - https://github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI/tree/main/examples/python

This is neat, guys! I've recently created a similar tool - https://github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI/blob/main/go_support.md , but maybe with a bit different approach, however maybe our tools could be integrated somehow ?

That makes SparrowCI extremely flexible CICD system in comparison with existing solutions (GitHub Actions, Ado Pipelines, GitLab, CircleCI ). The service runs for free now. Try it out! Some examples for popular languages (Python/Ruby/Powershell,Bash,GoLang) could be found here - https://github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI/tree/main/examples

More examples for Ruby could be found here - https://github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI/tree/main/examples/ruby

Please pay attention if you want to dig really deep )) , then underlying SparrowCI itself is just a transpiler from YAML ( plus some more features ) into Sparrow DSL which is documented here - https://github.com/melezhik/sparrow6 but you probably don’t need that part if you are only interested in writing pipelines …

As an addition to what's been already said, you might distribute your personal libraries as Sparrow plugins and spin up a private Sparrow repo for that - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/repository.md , it should not be very hard and by they way Sparrow is well integrated with zen by using Rakufile mechanism - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6/blob/master/documentation/development.md#package-managers , so one can distribute any ref modules (including taken from git , not eco system ) by just including Rakufile into one's plugin ...

I think alternatives to Ansible such as Rex and Sparrow have "fake it and show me the commands" modes — but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm not sure if there is a full fledged web framework for Raku just yet, but one of its claims to fame is Sparrow. It's declarative configuration management akin to Puppet, Chef, or Ansible.

Sparrow an automation framework, and its modules

During this stage Bird will use prepared task checks rules (check file - /root/.bird/285892/state.check]) and run them against the output. Bird will use Sparrow task check DSL to do so.

1) Sparrow - https://github.com/melezhik/Sparrow6 Raku Automation Framework ( alternative to ansible )

Sparrow is a wonderful tool to automate @daily devops tasks. Recently I've dropped a new plugin called k8s-deployment-check to verify k8s deployments. It lets you with a little bit of Raku code effectively test entire k8s infrastructure, including k8s deployments.

Could be added pretty easily, Sparrow has cpan-package primitive for for that.
