I'm working on a new tool called mgmt: https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/
While I think it's a good fit for the general automation problems we face today, on of the reasons I'd say that it's more difficult to find solutions geared to an individual user's /home/ is that most people don't develop the necessary "resources" to manage those things, or that the tools aren't geared well to support it.
In mgmt's case, we can run rootless, and standalone very easily, so it might be something you can hack on. It is missing the same resources that many other tools are missing, so if you want something special for your /home/, then please send us a patch!

It's fairly easy to find those 'resources' for cattle (for any of the many provisioning/orchestration tools), but nobody creates (or shares) their 'pet-resources', because its initially harder to a) make them generic and re-usable, and b) make them discoverable (mostly a matter of language, and finding 'searchable/findable' terms that describe the resource.
