What #Ansible Project/Module/Role should I use to provision an #OpenWRT Router?

#ansible #configuration #configurationmanagement

OpenWrt Forum · What Ansible Project/Module/Role should be used to Provision an OpenWRT Router from Scratch?There seem to be many many many options, which is why I am asking. I do not wish to install Python on anything other than the control node, certainly not on the router. But I'd like to be able to do the basics, over a serial connection such as setting the interface IPs, VLANs, trunk ports and firewall config, package installation, overlayfs, if that helps with library recommendation. Thank you, leeand00

Hey everyone, the very first release of #OpenVox has been released! It’s a drop in replacement for #Puppet and is ready for initial evaluation. Here’s a link to the blog post with more details via #HackerNews in hopes you’ll help vote it is so that even more people know what #VoxPupuli has accomplished 😁

Caveats that didn't fit into the toot:

- there are probably other examples out there I'm unaware of, or forgot (hmu!)
- obviously, the context here is for systems that either don't need/want containerization, or for managing the base layer of container/kubelet/etc hosts; otherwise you would just be using container build tools, kubernaughty/nice, etc.
- clear trend that the tools which got big, got eaten, & are now being run into the ground.

Jeff's #ConfigurationManagement SotW 2024:

Puppet: internal dsl, ruby, ruined by corpothieves.
Chef: external dsl, ruby, ruined by corpothieves.
Salt: yaml, python, ruined by…yea.
Ansible: yaml, python, corpotheft status unclear but I hate the way it uses yaml.
CFengine: technically still exists but was old even in the late ‘00s.
mgmt: external dsl, golang, “newish”, has neat ideas?
babushka (#TIL): internal dsl, ruby, oops died 2021.
"just go back to fabric": internal dsl, python, it me.

I was skeptical of PyInfra at first, but I had a working system within minutes and was building out my own deploys (sort of like Ansible Playbooks), but without any weird Yaml syntax.

I've used cfengine, Puppet, Chef, and Ansible, and while I might still use an agent based system if I had thousands of hosts, so far PyInfra has been the easiest and most straightforward configuration management system I've used. It's as straightforward as Chef, but agentless like Ansible.

It's been absolute pleasure to use so far.

Introducing tori, a tool to track your system's configuration and replicate it.

I've been simultaneously using and developing it personally for the past 5 months, and now I would like to teach it to fly so it can break out from our nest.

This version still has very few of the features I enjoy in my personally-hardcoded version. If it sounds interesting, just stay tuned.

I wrote a blog post with a more in-depth description of what it is, how it works and why I built it:
