VyConfigure

Declarative YAML configuration for VyOS

Note: this project is far from production ready, use at your own risk!

Installation

You will need to enable the HTTP API on your VyOS instance, refer to the upstream documentation for how to configure it.

The latest binary is available in releases. There's also a Docker Image available on GHCR.

Workflow

You should start by syncing your existing configuration to your local filesystem so you can begin using VyConfigure.

# This will sync your existing VyOS config to your current working directory
vyconfigure --host="https://<VyOS IP or Hostname>" --api-key="<VyOS HTTP API key>" sync

Once the configuration is on your local filesystem, you can preview the changes using

vyconfigure --host="https://<VyOS IP or Hostname>" --api-key="<VyOS HTTP API key>" plan

If you're happy with the changes, then you can apply them.

vyconfigure --host="https://<VyOS IP or Hostname>" --api-key="<VyOS HTTP API key>" apply

How does VyConfigure work?

VyConfigure works by using the VyOS HTTP API. It translates the configuration into YAML files and then back to a set of commands when you apply.

What's the purpose of VyConfigure?

I created VyConfigure so I could manage my VyOS config the GitOps way. I found tools like Ansible too heavy and wanted something lightweight and simple that could be easily read.

Unsupported features

Currently, configuring users with vyconfigure is explicity blocked due to complexities around encrypted passwords, for now it's recommended you configure these as usual.
