@movq on your blog you mentioned bundlewrap for configuration management. i'm fond of ansible and use it at work but wanted to know how you like bundlewrap vs something like ansible.

@mutefall https://github.com/rollcat/judo is something I would probably use, didn't actually use it. @prologic had something similar, forgot the name. Right now I manage config by storing my config files in ~/etc, ~/var which are backed-up every 30 minutes and symlink appropriately.

@mutefall That’s a tough question, because I’m not really an Ansible user. I can’t really compare the two.

A coworker started the BundleWrap project around the same time that Ansible started. Some time in 2012, I think. Shortly after that, we started using it at work. We knew about Ansible but it wasn’t really usable for our cases. Had Ansible been more mature back then, we might have chosen it instead, who knows.

The thing is, BundleWrap grew with our needs and, thus, it fulfills our needs pretty good. Hence I never really looked at *current* alternatives, to be honest. (But BundleWrap’s main dev knows more about it than I do.)

Also, we’re not good at marketing. Maybe we should put together a comparison page, “BundleWrap vs. Ansible”. 🤔

@adi yes, @prologic mentioned to me on our last call. https://git.mills.io/prologic/shops

@movq i'm going to give bundlewrap a shot after my day ends. i'm always interested in new config and orchestration tools. on marketing, i don't think anyone is good at it. i sure am not. i couldn't sell free money. :-)
