    Project mention: How do you guys handle server automation? | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2023-01-08

    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.

  • kas

    Setup tool for bitbake based projects (by siemens)

    Project mention: Yocto layer handling via Git | reddit.com/r/embedded | 2022-03-30

    You can also use KAS for versioning (https://github.com/siemens/kas). It's a pretty neat solution, that also provides a docker-build container. The basic principle is that you store your layers with commit hashes and local.conf files in a single .yaml format

  • ConfZ

    ConfZ is a configuration management library for Python based on pydantic.

    Project mention: Two different ways to write configuration files in Python | reddit.com/r/Python | 2023-03-07

    Project mention: Why you should use Data Classes in Python | reddit.com/r/Python | 2022-09-16

    (Note: I wrote a library called spock that was originally based on dataclasses and then shifted to attrs. In the end attrs was just the better and more fully fledged library for what I needed so I’ve always preferred attrs over dataclasses since then)

  • rubric

    Linter config initializer for Python

  • transible

    Convert existing cloud configuration to ansible playbooks

    Project mention: The Bullhorn #72 (Ansible Newsletter) | reddit.com/r/ansible | 2022-09-02

    Let me share with you "Transible" - the tool which converts your cloud to Ansible playbooks, with Openstack and Amazon AWS EC2 & VPC currently supported. Try it and generate Ansible playbooks from your cloud infrastructure. More details in this Medium article and the repository is: https://github.com/sshnaidm/transible

  • sitri

    Sitri - powerful settings & configs for python

  • fora

    A simple infrastructure and configuration management tool

  • filetailor

    Dotbot alternative to copy *and modify* plain text files to a folder based on YAML for syncing between devices

    Project mention: Dotfiles Management | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-08

    I didn't discover Chezmoi until seeing this thread (sigh). I developed a tool, [filetailor](https://github.com/k4j8/filetailor), with an almost identical goal (dotfile management while accounting for differences across machines). It uses Python and YAML, but from what I can tell is similar in concept to Chezmoi.

    One thing I like about filetailor I didn't see in Chezmoi was the ability to surround code with a comment specifying which machines it should be commented/uncommented for. It's easier than templates in some situations.

    It works great, but there's probably tons of bugs that occur when used by someone other than me. I don't have a CS background and this was my first big hobby project.
