Hello. I make things.
Lazy APT Management
In preparation for the Sekati Reboot I did a major infrastructure overhaul. Part of this involved rolling my own Xen dom0 on new, collocated hardware to host service separated para-virtualized domU server instances.
In the process of preparing the VPS‘s a new, linux based operating system was selected; specifically Debian (where historically OpenBSD was my flavor of choice) – this was done for it’s strong Xen support & superior (compared with the OpenBSD ports tree) package management system.
Of course what I’m referring to is APT & it’s wonderful management tools apt-get, dpkg & aptitude. Let me be clear in saying; these tools are ridiculously easy to use, have solid man pages & too many blog tutorials to mention.
The problem? Simply put: I’m lazy (the good lazy). And I want to do things in one simple terminal command. And I want to engineer mindless maintenance away via cron as much and as often as is safe or sane. In other words; I want a good control script that bundles & wraps all the apt-get love into short sweet commands & parallel-ssh execute them across all my virtual machines for day-to-day admin stuff.
So, of course, I wrote AptManager to fill this little lazy niche of mine. And now I’m sharing it with you; enjoy!
