Sokan

Sokan is a provisioner written in Rust. It consumes ordinary Yaml configuration files.

Configuration

You are able to specify the following things in the configuration:

• A hostname
• A package install command
• packages to be installed
• Files which shall be placed at certains paths with specified content

Host names

You are able to set a host name for your machine. The host name is set via the top level key:

srv01:
  #...

Setting it is optional. If you don't want to specify it, leave it to default.

default:
  #...

Packages

Via the packages key you're able to specify which packages should be installed on your machine:

default:
  - packages:
    - vim
    - git
    - postgres

Files

It is also possible to specify a list of files which need to be present:

default:
  - files:
    -
      path: '/home/john/.gitconfig`
      content: >

        [core]
            excludesfile = ~/.gitignore
            editor = vim

        [push]
            default = simple

A file is only written if not existant or if already there, the content is not equal to the one to be written.

Apply configuration to machine

You need to pass the configuration file as an argument:

$ sokan default.yaml

Requirements

This requires Rust 1.2 for building the sokan executable.
