This is better, yes?
This tool is ridiculously early in its development. I'm building out features as I migrate my dotfiles over.
Those dotfiles can be used as a "reference" for migrating your own.
Only for early adopters and masochists.
Comtrya is a tool to help provision a fresh OS with the packages and configuration (dotfiles) you need to become productive again.
I'm a serial OS installer, I wipe the OS on my machines every, approx, 30 days. I've primarily relied on SaltStack to automate this, but I've grown frustrated with the mismatch between configuration management and personal provisioning.
I've also tried Ansible, Chef, Puppet, mgmt, and probably anything else you're about to suggest; they all have a flaw that makes it too cumbersome to adopt for the trivial use-case.
You'll find binaries over on the releases page.
If you're not feeling risk-averse, you can use this one-liner:
shell
curl -fsSL https://get.comtrya.dev | sh
If this doesn't work for your OS and architecture, please open an issue and we'll do our best to support it.
```shell
comtrya
comtrya . -m one,two,three
comtrya --help ```
A manifest is a collection of packages and files, and this will likely be expanded upon later. A Manifest is a logical grouping of resources that can be applied to your machine, and fetched from remote locations or local.
Directories must be within a files directory within each manifest location.
yaml
actions:
- action: directory.copy
from: includes
to: /Users/rawkode/.zsh/
Files must be within a files directory within each manifest location.
yaml
actions:
- action: file.copy
from: gitconfig
to: /Users/rawkode/gitconfig
template: false # Whether to interpolate {{}} variable syntax with contexts
Currently Comtrya supports Homebrew and Aptitude as package providers. It'll detect, based on your system, which should be used.
This can be tweaked per action, using the provider parameter. Each provider also supports a repository parameter, which can add Homebrew Taps or PPAs for Ubuntu systems.
Single package:
```yaml actions: - action: package.install name: git
action: package.install provider: homebrew repository: homebrew/cask name: docker
action: package.install provider: aptitude repository: ppa:longsleep/golang-backports name: golang-go ```
Install several packages with the list version:
yaml
actions:
- action: package.install
list:
- git
- minikube
Dependencies can be configured per manifest, not per action.
yaml
depends:
- manifest_name
You should take a look at the issues page to see what's available to contribute. Below is a short list of the major features that are upcoming.
Providing a --quiet or --summary option that restricts the output to the run time
```shell Comtrya finished in 12.3s
Installed Packages: 12 Provisioned Files: 34 ```
We're using petgraph to build out the graph, but we're not travesing it in a way that will allow us to concurrently execute manifests at the same depth. This is something I wish to sort out pretty soon.
TODO: Allow manifest directory and variables to be configured in a Comtrya.yaml file. This will allow for comtrya with no arguments to function, as in the initial versions.
Currently, we execute arbitrary packager install commands. The provider spec should be enriched to support:
