@lkanies yeah I think it’s achievable tbh, but my focus isn’t whole machine CM - more about a single app.
Choria has a kind of operator control loop that can run, health check, remediate, rolling upgrades etc. missing piece for it is CM of the one thing.
So a lot smaller scope - package, config, service + hiera is all I need.
The example pkg manager I showed works and supports yum and apt and took 2 hours to POC with Google Antigravity (was mainly looking to check that out)
@ripienaar yeah I think that’s what I was thinking too. Something I can run on more of a one-off basis rather than managing everything on an ongoing basis.
@lkanies re your generic dreams comment: I think that’s exactly what’s needed.
These CM systems are so complex and involved but we just don’t think that holistically anymore that they became unusable.
Where a standalone command per resource that you can just call in a script (ie platform independent due to providers) is really enough now.
Build it with a API that can be called and make it take simple single file manifest and I think it’s really great fit for current needs tool.
@ripienaar I’m happy to help if I can. I know parsers and such are still pretty esoteric
@lkanies will do some deeper POCs over Xmas when my fam are away
Meanwhile will finish my single file hiera
