MIAOU

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

• less interactive command
  • on lxd init during then install process
• 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

• miaou means 'meow' in french, related to the acronym C.H.A.T.O.N.S
