onctl-templates

I don't want to poo-poo on anyone's AGPL shell-script-over-ssh tool, but I would draw your attention to ansible[1] which is also (plus or minus) shell over ${connection plugin of your choice} but (a) is plausibly idempotent, which 100% is not the case for this[2] (b) is licensed more reasonably, including its scripts/roles/templates (c) has an almost unlimited number of existing examples/stack overflow/documentation[3] as one would expect from a version 11 tool 1: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/11/getting_started/get_star... 2: https://github.com/cdalar/onctl-templates/blob/d3ad982a6dbdd... 3: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/11/collections/index_lookup...

Key highlights: VM-focused: Supports only VM management, keeping things simple and efficient. Uses simple SSH scripts: Under the hood, onctl operates using straightforward SSH scripts, making it easy to understand and customize. Ready-to-use templates: Start quickly with pre-defined templates for common use cases. Examples include: K3s cluster: onctl up -n qwe -a k3s/k3s-server.sh --download /tmp/k3s.yaml WireGuard VPN server: onctl up -n wg -a wireguard/vpn.sh Azure DevOps agents: onctl up -n agent1 -a azure/agent-pool.sh --dot-env .env.test Cloud-agnostic: Works across AWS, Azure, GCP, o
