Brett's Automatic Configurator and Operating system Negotiator
A simple experiment for fun
sudo python3 setup.py install
usage: bacon [-h] [-v] [-t] [-f FILE]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose Increase verbosity
-t, --test Test only, don't apply changes
-f FILE, --file FILE File to use for definitions
Changes are described in yaml format, and can be spread over multiple files if you prefer.
The schemas for resources are:
uniqueResourceName: string
type: file
ensure: ['present', 'absent'] # Wanted state
path: string # '/path/to/file'
mode: string # '0644'
user: string # 'nobody'
group: string # 'nogroup'
content: string # 'My content for the file'
requires: string # Any resource that should be installed first
requires:
- string
- string # If multiple services are required
notify: string # Any service resource that should be reloaded on change of this fileuniqueResourceName: string
type: package
ensure: ['present', 'absent'] # Wanted state
name: string # Package name
requires: string # Any resource that should be installed first
requires:
- string
- string # If multiple services are requireduniqueResourceName: string
type: service
manager: ['systemd'] # Which init program is used
name: string # Initscript name
ensure: ['running', 'stopped'] # Wanted state
requires: string # Any resource that should be installed first
requires:
- string
- string # If multiple services are requiredMy operating system isn't represented, what should I do to be able to install packages?
Easy!
- Edit
bacon/modules/package.py - Add your OS/Linux release to detect_release()
- Add files to
bacon/modules/YourOS/package.py
They should have two functions:
def package_is_installed(package):
''' See if a package is installed or not '''
...
def perform_change(change):
''' Perform the change on the resource '''See existing OSes for examples, and the format of the change request
I want to do more than just files, packages and services! What about managing users as well?
Easy!
- Add your new module,
bacon/modules/user.py
It should have two functions (at least):
def needs_change(change):
''' Detect if a change needs to occur or not '''
...
def perform_change(change):
''' Perform the change on the resource '''See existing modules for the format of the change request
