Purpose

provs provides cli-based tooling for provisioning desktop // server

  • provs-desktop office - provides enhancements like zim / gopass / fakturama
  • provs-desktop ide - provides development environments for java / kotlin / python / clojure / terraform
  • provs-server k3s - provides a production ready & k3s setup with dualstack option

In general provs combines

  • being able to use the power of shell commands
  • a clear and detailed result summary of the built-in execution handling (incl. failure handling and reporting)
