Configuration synchronization

Version 2

conf-sync's purpose is to update regularly all configuration files, scripts or service files that are installed on a system.

Introduction

Version 2 implementation works roughly as follows:

• the script runs daily;
• it browses all local Git repositories (in a specific directory) and run git pull;
  • if changes are detected, it runs install script (if present).

Files

• conf-sync.sh is the main script, which updates the files.
• variables.conf.template contains examples variables definitions, and should be copied locally to variables.conf (with any required modifications).
• systemd-templates/ contains Systemd units templates for running the script unattended.

Installation

• install.sh script copies Systemd templates to their destination, and enables conf-sync timer.

TODO

• Add install support for OpenBSD
• Replace desktop/server timer choice in one line
