The Transition from Ansible to GNU Stow In a previous post, I described my approach to managing my system by treating configuration as code.
Initially, I used Ansible for everything provisioning, application installation, and dotfile management. While that worked, it eventually became clear that Ansible was the wrong tool for managing frequently changing configuration files.
Ansible is excellent for provisioning: installing the OS, packages, system dependencies, and enforcing machine state. But dotfiles are different.

This project started after reading an article on the aws blog about serving redirect urls from an S3 bucket. The author even provided a CloudFormation template pretty sweet 😄.
Since I wanted to learn how to use CDK I decided to use this template and convert it to to a CDK project to do the same with some minor adjustments to suite my needs.
You are welcome to go to the project repository and have a gander.
The project started when while watching a keynote and the presenter mentioned that he had his entire home folder under version control. I have to admit the idea intrigued me so much that I decided to put my own home folder under version control, and like the speaker make it public. After all, sharing is caring…
After a while, I found it very difficult to keep my dotfiles project update with all the things that were happening in my home folder on multiple machines, so I started looking around.
Since the last update here a lot of things have changed in my life. So I’ve deceided to convert this site to a static site and remove a lot of the old posts, since most of them where reposts.
So this is the new site. Let me know what you think in the comments bellow.
More to come…
