Dev Ops Scripting

Dosh

Dev Ops Scripting.

Installation

$ gem install dosh

Requirements

Ruby 1.9.3 or greater.

Principles

1. Scripts should be standalone.
2. DRY, but self-sufficency and explictness are important too.
3. Scripts should be re-runnable, with the same outcome. If something changes that can't be repeated, check for it and exit early.

Conventions

• "ensure_< state >" checks if a state is true, generating a fault if not.
• "install_< noun >" installs the given noun, to a completely "ready" state.
• "meet_< noun >_< state >" takes the noun and attemps to achieve the given state.

Alternatives

Part inspiration comes from Babushka by Ben Hoskings - with some different design goals. I was bending babushka beyond what it was designed to do, hence dosh. If dosh doesn't work for you, Babushka might be what you are after.

You might also want to check out Chef or Puppet.
