#choria — Public Fediverse posts

Huh, are the projects clawed back from #puppet , namely #choria and #OpenVox #OpenVoxProject, the only entries in #ConfigurationManagement without LLMs in them?

#SysAdmin #DevOps #OpenSource

Yesterday at #CfgMgmtCamp I attended a talk by @ripienaar on his new #Choria #ConfigurationManagement system https://choria-cm.dev/.

Lots of already usable neat ideas packed into a 2 months old project:
- lightweight shell script integration for idempotent resource management, rather than implementing yet another bizarro DSL
- single-file yaml manifests (data + resources in a single self-contained place)
- all-in-one statically linked go binary that you can stick anywhere and runs really fast
- health checks + remediation loop when using agent mode
- bundle support for common operations

Seems like something worth keeping an eye out for, in the niche between spaghetti shell scripts, slow-ish ansible roles and full-blown OpenVox deployments, especially for "snowflake" one-shot deployments.

Echoing what @binford2k says here I have also lost ownership of the #choria channel there. Please meet us at the new slack.

Everything looks fine. Now time to work on #choria to bring support for Puppet 8! 💯

I am postponing the update of PuppetBoard itself due to a lot of dependency changes.

An #introduction

PMTS("Principal" Member of Technology Services) with Salesforce Engineering, roughly 20 years of experience and tricking sand to do math. #ADHD AF(sigh), do a lot of mentorship related to that and other things in #vancouverbc.

Some people might know me from the #puppet community(hi!), I was heavily involved there for a while.

Lately I'm mostly involved with #ApacheKafka, #choria (choria.io, the successor to mcollective).

[RFC] I am working on adding tasks to the #chocolatey module of #puppet in order to allow managing packages on windows nodes using orchestration tools like #bolt / #choria.

If the above is something that makes sense to you, please see this PR and shine in with comments and feedack:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-chocolatey/pull/273

My use cases are trivial ones so real world users of chocolatey are likely to give valuable insights, regardless of what they use chocolatey for 😉

Thanks!
