Dotfiles: Unofficial Guide to Dotfiles on GitHub
Sorry - should have been specific in top-level comment. I was referring to this one: https://github.com/aspiers/stow/issues/33
Basically, the --dotfiles option was not working with directories so you had to have things that look like this: lazygit/.config/lazygit and now it looks like: lazygit/dot-config/lazygit.
Really a small issue that bugged me forever - shouldn't have made it seem like it was core a problem with stow!

Are there any solutions like alternatives to docker, kubernetes, ansible, etc. which make large scale server deployment automated?
Rex can be an alternative to Ansible, but both are available for FreeBSD: https://www.rexify.org/

Looking for material and ideals for rolling my own Containerization solution for OpenBSD
Maybe Rex (https://www.rexify.org/)? You'll need to know Perl, but Perl is in base and really good for this sort of thing.
What are some alternatives?
