sys-conf

Light weight Linux system configurator.

Why?

There are plentyful varieties of system configurations files that need to be customized. Of course, sed + awk may do the job, at least with small and simple set of config files. Ansible may be a too heavy machine for a relatively modest deployment.

Synopsys

sys-conf shall take recursively: * data stored in key=value pairs format from a designated directory (--data) * apply them on templates stored in another directory (--templates) * generate output configuration files in the output directory (--output). The output keeps the same tree structure as the one from the templates directory. Some output filename can be dynamically mapped with value taken from data. For example, examples/nginx/sites-enabled/map:web-domain.conf shall be written as outputdir/nginx/sites-enabled/my-domain.com.conf if data has a keypair web_domain=my-domain.com

Usage

--data data shall be be collected from here to render the templates
--templates configuration path with tree structure
--output output configuration path
--confilct-policy=skip|overwrite
