shmgmt

shmgmt is a very simple configuration management tool in pure shell - Except for a Go binary that will handle git clones.
It tries to be fully POSIX shell compliant and has been tested with bash, dash, busybox ash.

Why?

When working with minimalist installs under 100MB on disk, it doesn't really make sense to install a configuration manager that can take even more size than your full system.
Typically this VoidLinux install with an added unbound service takes ~70MB on disk.

As an example here's the size of some tools on VoidLinux:

Ansible = 60MB
Puppet = 84MB
Salt = 73MB

Using one of this tools would amount to roughly double the disk space, while you already have a shell installed and usable at not cost.

Features

Self contained - will install itself locally - set of shell scripts
Reasonably fast
Sync states from a Git repo
Defaults can be overriden from user defined config
Abstracted modules callable from states by their names, like: ${file}
States are easy shell scripts calling on modules: Check the example repo

Modules list

As of now the following modules exist:

directory
file
void_package
void_service

You can check per module documentation here

Installation

wget https://git.mauras.ch/shmgmt/shmgmt/raw/branch/master/shmgmt.sh -P /tmp
sh /tmp/shmgmt.sh -i
rm -f /tmp/shmgmt

Usage

By default shmgmt will point its $STATEREPO path to the example repo.
Override $STATEREPO in your own config file.

echo "STATEREPO=<my own state repo>" > ~/.shmgmt
shmgmt

You can also call shmgmt to look at an arbitrary located config file

shmgmt -c /arbitrary/path/to/shmgmt/config

Options

-i: Install itself locally
-c <CONFIG>: Specify config file
-r <STATEREPO>: Git repo containing your state files
-d <STATEDIR>: Where to clone your states files locally
