Server Mechanic is a tool to apply change scripts to your servers in a reliable and reproducable way.

• You evolve your servers step by step.
• You author server migrations in your favorite language.
• No abstractions - you simply use your daily tools (apt, yum, cp, sed, ...)
• You focus on the changes instead of developing reusable plugins.

• List of migrations can get very long for new installs.

Server Mechanic is considered as a lightweight alternative to tools like puppet, ansible, etc.

How it works...

• Tested platforms: Linux
• Available as platform package for Debian and Ubuntu.
• Written in Python.
• Uses battle proof sqlite3 database.

Server Mechanic is in an early stage ("unstable"). Use it carefully and expect things to break.

We appreciate any feedback about the tool and your usage scenarios so we can learn and improve Server Mechanic.

Server Mechanic is an open source project, and contributions are welcome! Feel free to raise an issue or submit a pull request.
