allow parametrization of repo files through config variables #10

Open majewsky opened 8 years ago

majewsky commented 8 years ago

Right now, my own configuration packages are parametrized at build time. Various credentials and moving parts (e.g. network interface names) are interpolated as parameters.

It would be nice to have a mechanism like that in Holo itself, so that e.g. configuration variables could be read e.g. from /etc/holo. This would allow hologram packages to be independent from machine-specific credentials, thus enabling easier sharing of holograms between users.

The system should also be built in such a way that fact collection (such as Facter or Ohai) and fact distribution (such as etcd) can be integrated easily.

(Migrated from holocm/holo-attic#10.)

There is now https://github.com/holocm/replicator, a testament to how badly I needed any solution at all.
