<h3>The Summary</h3><br>
I built my own config-management system!<br>
I've made some of it public to show it off.<br>
<br>
<a href='https://code.thekyel.com/configs.sh'>Here is the main script</a><br>
<a href='https://code.thekyel.com/functions.sh'>Here are the functions that I built into it</a><br>
<a href='https://code.thekyel.com/interfaces.sh'>And here is one of the sub-scripts for it</a><br>
<br>
I don't use that version anymore, but I do use a modified version. The only<br>
reason that I'm not publishing the new version is that I haven't cleaned it up,<br>
and it needs some work.<br>
<br>
I built it as all of the existing config-management systems were a little too<br>
overkill at the time. If I were to redo it now, I'd likely use something like<br>
Ansible, but this has lasted for a couple Debian iterations for my lab, and<br>
I don't want to spend much more time on it. Especially as it is still working<br>
just fine.<br>
<br>
It's a pretty simple system, and it's a lot of includes that drill down from<br>
a generalized type, down to specific hosts. I like the include system as I can<br>
pull in things that I want, and remove them with simple one-line changes.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't recommend reinventing the wheel on this for a professional<br>
environment, but it was a fun learning exercise!
