This is the my experience as well. For an activist website that I maintain I just use a PHP script to install everything and to ensure that everything has proper permissions. The site uses Wordpress and patching config files in PHP is simpler than in bash. I am glad that I have not bothered with Ansible, as I would most likely ended up with YAML programming which is way worse than bash.
- anthk 6y agoPerl was made exactly for that.
- fpoling 6y agoThat would require another language to know to maintain the script while Wordpress already requires some PHP knowledge. PHP is very OK for that. The only significant gripe is that even with PHP 7 the language does not have a utility to start an external program directly without going through shell and the need to escape arguments.
