Adams is a UNIX system administration tool written in Common Lisp.
You describe your systems (hosts) using resources having properties.
The properties are then probed and synchronized by Adams using only
/bin/sh
on the remote host, and /usr/bin/ssh
on the control host.
More viable alternatives include Ansible, Chef and Puppet.
Adams is currently able to use a local shell or connect to remote hosts via ssh.
Adams is this hardcore hacker using only /bin/sh
commands.
This makes ksh
and bash
suitable shells for adams as they are
compatible with /bin/sh
.
Supported resource types :
You should only allow Adams what you would allow your system operators :
All commands issued to the remote hosts can be logged.
Adams does not grant the hosts access to its workstation while it works. Adams does not grant access to data belonging to any host. Adams does not send any data that is not of direct concern to the host. In short, all UNIX permissions are respected, Adams is a regular UNIX user.
$ sbcl --eval '(repo:install :adams)'
adams
binary $ cd ~/common-lisp/cl-adams/adams
$ make
$ sudo cp build/adams /usr/local/bin/adams
In your ~/.emacs
file :
;; Adams
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.adams\\'" . lisp-mode))
.adams
script
In the tutorial.adams
file :
#!/usr/local/bin/adams --script
(resource 'host "adams.kmx.io"
:user "adams"
(resource 'user "adams"
:shell "/bin/sh"
:ensure :present))
(with-host "adams.kmx.io"
(sync *host*))
$ chmod 755 tutorial.adams
$ ./tutorial.adams
The tutorial.adams
script will synchronize the host “adams.kmx.io”
according to the resource specifications given in the file.
#.(include "file")
In the user/dx.adams
file :
;; Thomas de Grivel (kmx.io)
(resource 'group "dx"
:gid 19256
:ensure :present)
(resource 'user "dx"
:uid 19256
:gid 19256
:home "/home/dx"
:ensure :present)
In your main script :
#!/usr/local/bin/adams --script
(resource 'host "adams.kmx.io"
:user "adams"
(resource 'user "adams"
:shell "/bin/sh"
:ensure :present)
#.(include "user/dx"))
(with-host "adams.kmx.io"
(sync *host*))

Adams 0.1
=========
Adams is a UNIX system administration tool written in Common Lisp.
You describe your systems (hosts) using resources having properties.
The properties are then probed and synchronized by Adams using only
`/bin/sh` on the remote host, and `/usr/bin/ssh` on the control host.
More viable alternatives include
[Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/),
[Chef](https://www.chef.io/)
and
[Puppet](https://puppet.com/).
Current status
--------------
Adams is currently able to use a local shell or connect to remote hosts
via ssh.
Adams is this hardcore hacker using only `/bin/sh` commands.
This makes `ksh` and `bash` suitable shells for adams as they are
compatible with `/bin/sh`.
Supported resource types :
- Host (hostname)
- User (useradd, usermod, userdel)
- Group (groupadd, groupmod, groupdel)
- File (owner, group, permissions, content)
- Directory (owner, group, permissions)
- Package (Debian, OpenBSD)
Security design
---------------
You should only allow Adams what you would allow your system operators :
- a shell accessible through SSH using a public key
- apropriate sudo permissions
All commands issued to the remote hosts can be logged.
Adams does not grant the hosts access to its workstation while it works.
Adams does not grant access to data belonging to any host.
Adams does not send any data that is not of direct concern to the host.
In short, all UNIX permissions are respected, Adams is a regular UNIX user.
Usage
-----
### 1. Install [repo](https://github.com/common-lisp-repo/repo).
### 2. Fetch adams sources.
``` shell
$ sbcl --eval '(repo:install :adams)'
```
### 3. Build and install the `adams` binary
``` shell
$ cd ~/common-lisp/cl-adams/adams
$ make
$ sudo cp build/adams /usr/local/bin/adams
```
### 4. Configure emacs (optional)
In your `~/.emacs` file :
``` emacs-lisp
;; Adams
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.adams\\'" . lisp-mode))
```
### 5. Write some resources in a `.adams` script
In the `tutorial.adams` file :
``` common-lisp
#!/usr/local/bin/adams --script
(resource 'host "adams.kmx.io"
:user "adams"
(resource 'user "adams"
:shell "/bin/sh"
:ensure :present))
(with-host "adams.kmx.io"
(sync *host*))
```
### 6. Profit.
``` shell
$ chmod 755 tutorial.adams
$ ./tutorial.adams
```
The `tutorial.adams` script will synchronize the host "adams.kmx.io"
according to the resource specifications given in the file.
### 7. DRY up your scripts using `#.(include "file")`
In the `user/dx.adams` file :
``` common-lisp
;; Thomas de Grivel (kmx.io)
(resource 'group "dx"
:gid 19256
:ensure :present)
(resource 'user "dx"
:uid 19256
:gid 19256
:home "/home/dx"
:ensure :present)
```
In your main script :
``` common-lisp
#!/usr/local/bin/adams --script
(resource 'host "adams.kmx.io"
:user "adams"
(resource 'user "adams"
:shell "/bin/sh"
:ensure :present)
#.(include "user/dx"))
(with-host "adams.kmx.io"
(sync *host*))
```
