Thanks guys for your suggestions, looks like Ansible is a winner :)

Cheers

I'm very happy with Ansible https://github.com/ansible/ansible (it is not 
Ansible Tower = their commercial product). You need only ssh server on the 
controled machine, no state, idempotent execution.

I’ll second what Ray said: Pallet has some great concepts and it’s very 
powerful, but the model is a big shift from how most DevOps tools work and it 
can be very hard to develop your own crates etc. We tried to go down that path 
several years ago and even with assistance from the Pallet team we did not get 
very far.

 

I don’t think there are any actively maintained alternatives in Clojure so 
Ansible / Chef / Puppet is going to be your best bet I think.

Hi there,
I just got super excited about Pallet only to find out that the last commit was 
3 years ago and that it is not being actively maintained (using now old version 
of jCoulds etc.).
Are there any alternatives that would work well with Clojure paradigm?

Or are my options only to either go with chef/puppet or to fork pallet? I am 
also interested to hear what works for people and what not so much.

Thanks!
Miro
