This is my annual plug for the little-known bundlewrap: https://bundlewrap.org https://bundlewrap.org
It hits a really nice sweet spot, letting you automate things, without making everything too complex.
Recently, I've taken to just asking Claude Code to do things via bundlewrap. It seems to be about as easy for it to create bundles and templates that update systems, etc. as it would be to just update systems, etc. except you're left with something you can check in.
Here's the result of me asking it to set up Caddy to serve a website from my little Lenovo box in the laundry room: https://github.com/zellyn/bundlewrap-config/commit/d5f92ebb0fc11d33e473b5dd41a08e01a684fe1f https://github.com/zellyn/bundlewrap-config/commit/d5f92ebb0...
- jbstack 11mo agoWhat's the benefit of this over Ansible (which, at a first quick glance, it seems similar in philosophy to)?
- zellyn 11mo agoIt feels really simple, and Ansible feels like… a whole thing. I’m probably just going on vibes here, though!
- jbstack 11mo agoAnd does that simplicity come at a cost of flexibility? Do you think bundlewrap is sutiable for managing a homelab with a diverse set of software running inside a mix of containers and VMs, and perhaps different distros?
