• Show HN: A new provisioning tool built with mgmt

  This is a new provisioning tool built with https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ that I hope both provides great value and also demonstrates the start of a new way to build certain kinds of software. Thanks for reading! - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• The Cell Programming Language

  I've looked briefly into this project before. Some ideas are similar to what I'm doing in https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ but the really weird thing is that I have no idea who's behind this language. A person? A company? A small group? Are they anonymous for some reason or am I oblivious? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• The Claro Programming Language

  The DAG concurrency stuff feels familiar to what I've been doing with our language, mcl. https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ Our goal is NOT a general-purpose turing-complete language like this one is, but we do some amazing lock-free, DAG concurrency things to achieve the processing wins. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• HashiCorp Adopts Business Source License

  I don't think it's good news, but why is anyone surprised? Nobody wants to pay for open source. Companies want it for free, and individuals don't have enough luxury time to be able to do it themselves. Prove me wrong and help patch or fund https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ and you'll have an even better replacement for terraform! - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: Could you show your personal blog here?

  The Technical Blog of James https://purpleidea.com/blog/ Random tech stuff and of course my work on https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest the killing of 3rd Party Apps! All FOSS apps are 3rd Party Apps. Will /r/linux join the strike?

  Eventually decided puppet wasn't a good enough tool to be able to autonomously deploy and continuously manage such clusters. So I started working on this https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ project. Not quite MVP yet, but trying to get there soon. Got distracted along the way with having to work real jobs (Red Hat, Amazon) to pay bills. Source: 11 months ago

• I want to contribute to open-source software written in Go

  Individual here, not a company. We'd love contributors to https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/. Source: 11 months ago

• Interactive animations

  Yeah, that project is pretty much at the bottom of my list, unfortunately. My top projects these days are mgmt, klister, recursion-schemes, and hint... And that's already too much! Source: 12 months ago

• Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends

  There are certainly faster alternatives out there (mgmt comes to mind) but then, they're not Ansible. Source: about 1 year ago

• Introducing the Event-Driven Ansible developer preview

  I'm happy they're trying to innovate, but if they're going to take ideas from https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ a little thank you credit would be appreciated! Source: over 1 year ago

• Anyone interested in collaborating on making projects?

  I've been working on a project I started called mgmt: https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• UIs Are Streaming Dags

  I didn't watch this video, but https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ has a core concept of streams of DAG's since the beginning. I came up with the idea, but if there's a greater commons discussing these kind of algorithms, I'd be interested for more people to get involved! - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• An Open Letter from the CEO of Puppet: Puppet and Perforce

  This is a weird "open letter" but okay. I feel like Puppet, for whatever reason, has lost out on things and Ansible won, which is quite unfortunate as Ansible is just not as good as Puppet. I wonder if Preforce will be able to revive the interest in Puppet. Anyway, if someone plans to move away from Puppet (I imagine someone will, because someone always disagrees with a buyout), I've recently found mgmt[0] which... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Mysa vs Hilo

  Ping if you want help testing your local API. I'm the https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ author and we can't build a resource for mysa until there's a local LAN API. Cheers! Source: about 2 years ago

• I have this idea. Thoughts?

  I once saw a talk of the creator of cfg mgmt. It is a real time configuration management tool. I've never used it, but I found the demo's impressive. Https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Why are there no descent Go or Rust alternatived to Ansible?

  System automation is very “scripty” so the traditional tools have always been in scripting languages (chef, ansible, puppet, salt) and you can have lots of other peoples “code” running instead of doing it all yourself. That is sort of the appeal, enough other people use it so that you don’t have to do everything yourself if you don’t want to. There are solutions in go, one that looked interesting to me was mgmt... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Which library/project do you wish was ported to golang?

  Don't? Ansible is horrible. It works but is just terrible. Yaml hell is no fun. Hard to manage. It's just all terrible. I suggest looking into mgmt which has a Puppet compatibility layer. I've not really used it but it looks really promising. You basically get Puppet minus Ruby. Source: over 2 years ago

• Home Assistant – open-source home automation

  > And it is great that we could reason about our rules in that manner. That's what I've been missing as well. Node-RED comes close, but is event based. I've been thinking of implementing this kind of system. It has similar principles to functional languages or a reactive system like Mgmt[0]. But I foresee a few issues that would render potential simple formulae into complex ones. Things like keeping state on... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Kubernetes Is Our Generation's Multics

  > I'd be curious what a better alternative looks like. https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ It's just not finished yet. With < 0.01% of the funding kube has, it has many times more design and elegance. Help us out. Have a look and tell me what you think. =D. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Summer Blog Backlog: Distributed Systems

  I think https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ has a good chance of replacing it all with something more elegant. If only I could get it finished. Help wanted! Source: almost 3 years ago
