=====

provisioning tool for building opinionated architecture following these principles:
* free software: AGPLv3
* multi-target: DEV, BETA (alias staging), PROD
* container-based: LXD/LXC on Debian 12 (bookworm)
* secured: NFT
* monitored: MONIT

TODO
----

* [ ] backup postgresql missing out on **saturday**
* [ ] TOOLBOOX/nc (binary)
* [ ] final ansible-like indicators: same/new
* [ ] patched editor (backup+editor+diff+patch)
* [ ] to improve log journal for each `recipe` (apache, for example) in order to shorten disk space

ORIGIN
------

The project name `miaou` comes up from both a French and Reunion's Creole pun
* miaou is a shortcut for *mi aim aou*, which means 'I love you'
* miaou means 'meow' in french, related to the acronym C.H.A.T.O.N.S

ARCHITECTURE
