Show HN: A new open-source automation tool as an alternative to Ansible/Salt
There is https://pyinfra.com/
As a sidenote, I also made a small experiment a while ago : https://github.com/linkdd/tricorder/
But it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. Without users, I don't know how it should be used, without features I won't get any users. So for now, it's in a state of "I'll address bug reports and feature requests, but I won't actively develop it".

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
I like https://github.com/pyinfra-dev/pyinfra. "pyinfra automates infrastructure using Python"
Only played with it for a little but it seems well designed an simpler alternative to ansible, chef and other such things.

Interesting Uses of Ansible's ternary filter
Haven't used it in anger yet, but I have high hopes for PyInfra: https://github.com/pyinfra-dev/pyinfra

How to manage multiple Wagtail sites from central point
pyinfra - https://pyinfra.com/ - Pyinfra is simpler for me than Ansible. I completed the entire deployment in one afternoon, from installing and configuring the VPS server from scratch to deploying the application and automatically restoring the database from a backup.

How do you guys handle server automation?
I’ve replaced Ansible with PyInfra where ever possible. https://pyinfra.com/ is very clean, and fast but lacks the shear amount of automation that can be found with Ansible.

What Ansible is capable to do that Python doesn't?
Some folks don't like YAML all that well, and I can understand where they are coming from. I wish Ansible provided a good Python API so that playbooks could be written in Python easier. But there is a project called PyInfra that is trying to do something similiar to Ansible, using Python as the configuration language. https://pyinfra.com/ It is still pretty new so not got nearly as many modules written for it yet.

We haven't tracked posts mentioning Fabtools yet.
Tracking mentions began in Dec 2020.
What are some alternatives?
Ansible - Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.
Fabric - Simple, Pythonic remote execution and deployment.
psutil - Cross-platform lib for process and system monitoring in Python
cuisine - Chef-like functionality for Fabric
Docker Compose - Define and run multi-container applications with Docker
letsencrypt - Certbot is EFF's tool to obtain certs from Let's Encrypt and (optionally) auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that uses the ACME protocol.
SaltStack - Software to automate the management and configuration of any infrastructure or application at scale. Get access to the Salt software package repository here:
