From spwhitton at spwhitton.name Wed Apr 24 08:39:10 2024 From: spwhitton at spwhitton.name (Sean Whitton) Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 08:39:10 +0100 Subject: Consfigurator 1.3.2 released Message-ID: <87il076wgx.fsf@zephyr.silentflame.com> I am pleased to announce Consfigurator 1.3.2. News since the last version announced to this list (1.3.0): - Add LIBVIRT:KVM-BOOTS-LVM-LV and LIBVIRT:KVM-BOOTS-LVM-LV-FOR. - Pass ``--batch`` and ``--no-tty`` to gpg(1) to avoid some tty issues. Thanks to David Bremner. - Fix a bug in DISK:HOST-LOGICAL-VOLUMES-EXIST that meant it would try to add ``/etc/fstab`` entries for each logical volume it created rather than for each filesystem it tries to mount. - FILE:HOST-DATA-UPLOADED and FILE:HOST-SECRET-UPLOADED can now upload multiple files. - Add REAPPLIED and PERIODIC:REAPPLIED-AT-MOST property combinators. You can find the source at https://git.spwhitton.name/consfigurator for browsing online or git cloning. Releases are made by publishing signed git tags to that repository. The tag for this release is named 'v1.3.2', and is signed by me. On Debian/etc. systems, apt-get install cl-consfigurator -8<- Consfigurator is a system for declarative configuration management using Common Lisp. You can use it to configure hosts as root, deploy services as unprivileged users, build and deploy containers, install operating systems, produce disc images, and more. Some key advantages: * Apply configuration by transparently starting up another Lisp image on the machine to be configured, so that you can use the full power of Common Lisp to inspect and control the host. * Also define properties of hosts in a more restricted language, that of :POSIX properties, to configure machines, containers and user accounts where you can't install Lisp. These properties can be applied using just an SSH or serial connection, but they can also be applied by remote Lisp images, enabling code reuse. * Flexibly chain and nest methods of connecting to hosts. For example, you could have Consfigurator SSH to a host, sudo to root, start up Lisp, use the setns(2) system call to enter a Linux container, and then deploy a service. Secrets, and other prerequisite data, are properly passed along. * Combine declarative semantics for defining hosts and services with a multiparadigmatic general-purpose programming language that won't get in your way. Declarative configuration management systems like Consfigurator and Propellor share a number of goals with projects like the GNU Guix System and NixOS. However, tools like Consfigurator and Propellor try to layer the power of declarative and reproducible configuration semantics on top of traditional, battle-tested UNIX system administration infrastructure like distro package managers, package archives and daemon configuration mechanisms, rather than seeking to replace any of those. Let's get as much as we can out of all that existing distro policy-compliant work! -- Sean Whitton -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you like Sway/i3wm's commitments to stability, avoiding scope creep etc. but dislike the window management model, papersway might be of interest. On each workspace, windows are arranged in a row. By default, two of the windows in the row are visible at a time, and you can move left and right in the row to display other windows. Opening a new window pushes one of the visible windows off the screen to make room, and closing a window pulls in a window to fill the space. You can reorder the windows. There are commands to change the number of visible windows; toggle *monocle mode*, in which the focused window occupies all visible columns; and jump to a *fresh workspace*, which means a new, empty workspace occurring immediately after the currently focused workspace.
