skonfig is a system configuration and automation framework designed to work with all systems, from your toaster to the data centre.
skonfig uses three main repositories:
- skonfig - implementation of the skonfig executable,
- base - explorer and types for general use,
- extra - special purpose types and incubator for new types.
Check out the skonfig repository to learn how to get started.
Need support? You can find us in #skonfig:matrix.org (matrix?).
Most parts of the cdist documentation still apply, but there are some differences:
skonfigdoes onlyconfig(seeskonfig -h),- types are managed in sets (like this one),
- type manifests can be a directory of scripts,
gencode-*can be a directory of scripts,- some types behave differently and it's recommended to consult the
man.rstfiles in base and extra.
Base explorers and types are used to change the state of the operating system or core components of it and are not for some specific piece of software. Furthermore, the quality requirements for inclusion in base are higher than for extra.
Extra contains types for specific purposes like configuring software or services which don't belong to the operating system and also serves as an incubator for new types.
Even more types can be found in sets specialised in helping you configure a specific piece of software. Some of these sets can be found in this organization.
And being a fork of cdist originally, your cdist manifests and types will continue to work with skonfig with no or minimal adjustments.
