idem

Package idem provides declarative system configuration primitives through an idempotent API. It's inspired by tools like ansible.

h := idem.NewHost("127.0.0.1", sshConfig).WithPort(8022).WithSudo(true)

idem.Package("nginx").State("present").Run(h)
idem.User("nginx").Run(h)
idem.File("/var/www").State("directory").Owner("nginx").Run(h)
idem.Command("nginx").Run(h)

Why?

Infrastructure as code tools are great, but they often use a configuration language instead of a programming language. idem is still a Go library, no YAML, no python, and no CLI.

Architecture

idem works by pushing a statically linked Go binary into the server. The remote binary examines current state and makes the necessary changes to reach the desired state.

Status

idem is usable, but keep in mind its still work in progress. Contributions welcome!
