Configuration Management for Localhost / dotfiles

Project mention: Rotz: Cross platform dotfile manager written in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-08

Reminds me of my own project, Comtrya
One of our goals is to run anywhere too, we have support for BSD as well as Windows, macOS, and Linux; as well as first class variant support for "define once, run everywhere" functionality.
Our core lib is available and built to support other dot file managers, perhaps it could be useful to you.

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 Synchronize installed packages on multiple machines

Project mention: Ask HN: How do you manage dotfiles and provision machines? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-26

Probably true but as an aging and burned out dev I really hoped that there would be some ready and baked solutions by mid-2023, you know.
It's actually quite the glaring hole in dev tooling. Everyone formulating their own cloud or GIT synced adhoc scripts is a huge waste of energy IMO!
Guess I'll have to start allocating time and check out Ansible, Chef and Puppet (I heard they can do OS- and distro-agnostic package management which sounds promising). Or, since I have no plans to use Windows for anything except gaming ever again and will stick to Macs and Linux machines, then I'll just carefully compose a few bash/zsh scripts with some package manager shims and command/arguments translation and nail that and use it to my grave.
Still, I really expected dev tooling to be better. It's weird how each one of us has to invent their own package syncing manager.
The only tool I was able to find is https://github.com/tversteeg/emplace -- but I am still fighting with it and I can't even make it use config file on a custom location, and it does seem semi-defunct. Will research it a bit, still have hope it'll work but likely not. Oh well.
