Profile

Happy new year folks!This tool was born out of a situation where I had 'inherited' a bunch of servers that were not under any form of config management. Oh, the horror...Enroll 'harvests' system information such as what packages are installed, what services are running, what files have 'differed' from their out-of-the-box defaults, and what other custom snowflake data might exist.The harvest state data can be kept as its own sort of SBOM, but also can be converted in a mere second or two into fully-functional Ansible roles/playbooks/inventory.It can be run remotely over SSH or locally on the machine. Debian and Redhat-like systems are supported.There is also a 'diff' mode to detect drift ove
