    I'm working on tool called Unobin that lets you write Ansible-esque playbooks and compile them to a standalone binary with all of the templates and files baked in.

    I'm trying to solve the "works on my machine" problem that's very prevalent in the devops world. One person's playbook (or Terraform module or Chef cookbook or whatever) works fine on the developer's machine due to assumptions made during the development. But transfer that code to another machine and it's a whole 'nother story. There is often a lack of rigor around dependency management and versioning, along with hidden dependencies such as programs that need to exist on the machine where the playbook is run. I want to make it possible to include all of the dependencies directly in the binary, so you truly need just one binary (unobin) to download and run.

    I've made a lot of progress and have what I feel is a solid POC at this point. It lacks many modules but I'm just writing them as I need them. Right now I'm working on a reference playbook to build a Concourse CI stack, and that's giving me solid feedback to myself about what's missing.
