Provs framework

Provs is a framework for automating tasks for provisioning reasons and other purposes.

It 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)
• the convenience and robustness of a modern programming language

Write once, run everywhere

Tasks can be run

• locally
• remotely
• in a local docker container
• in a remote container

Additionally, it is possible to define a custom processor if needed.

Usage

Prerequisites

• A Java Virtual machine (JVM) is required.
• Download the latest provs.jar from: https://gitlab.com/domaindrivenarchitecture/provs/-/releases
• For server functionality (such as install k3s) download the latest provs-server.jar from: https://gitlab.com/domaindrivenarchitecture/provs/-/releases

Show usage options

java -jar provs.jar -h

Provision a desktop workplace locally

Ensure a config file is in place (default config file name is "WorkplaceConfig.yaml") with at least the workplace type specified, e.g. type: MINIMAL

Possible types are currently: MINIMAL, OFFICE or IDE.

Run:

java -jar provs.jar -l

Provision a desktop workplace remotely

java -jar provs.jar -i -r <ip> -u <remote_username>

You'll be prompted for the password of the remote user.

Provision k3s

java -jar provs-server.jar -i -r <ip or hostname> -u <remote_username>
# Example:
java -jar provs-server.jar -i -r 192.168.56.141 -u testuser

You'll be prompted for the password of the remote user.

For developers

Build the jar-file yourself

• Clone this repo
• Build the fatjar file by ./gradlew fatJarLatest
• In folder build/libs you'll find the file provs.jar

The fatjar is a Java jar-file incl. all required dependencies.
