Lassi - Basic Configuration Management Tool
Setup
Lassi is built as a python module. It requires some build time dependencies to be installed.
Ubuntu
- Run bootstrap.sh
$ bash bootstrap.sh
- Install the python module
$ sudo python setup.py install
-
Copy the example configuration file (lassi.config.example) to
/etc/lassi.config. This contains the host list along with the changes that needs to be pushed for each host. -
You can run the tool now
$ lassi
It will read the /etc/lassi.config file and configure each of the server one by one.
OSX
Didn't test on OSX but once the dependencies specified in bootstrap.sh are installed via homebrew, things should work fine.
Configuration Syntax
The configuration file is a JSON file which specifies the packages, services and files needs to be available on the host.
Package resource
"package": [
{
"name": "apache2",
"ensure": "absent"
},
{
"name": "php-fpm",
"ensure": "present"
"notify": ["apache2"]
}
]
Default value of ensure is present
notify will reload those services whenever that package is installed
Service resource

This ensures that services are started

}
]
