About construct

construct Your Machine

Construct supports blacklisting units for special installation needs: units in _blacklist will be skipped

Usage & Development

This is how you modify construct:

First, create a unit: ./create-unit unit-name. A unit is a folder. A unit sets up one aspect of the machine. That's why it's called a unit.

Units have four kind of files (that construct cares about):

  • readme.md - Describes why this unit is included in construct.
  • install.sh - A shell script which installs the unit.
  • verify-install.sh - A shell script which exits with zero when the unit is installed.
  • deps - A file which lists the dependencies this unit has on other units.

Run your unit with install-unit unit-name. Run all units with construct.

For convenience, you can specify which units should run first (instead of just letting construct work it out from the dependency graph) by putting their names in the priority-units file.

The Way of construct

construct is inspired by systems like boxen, sprout-wrap, sprout, chef, babushka and puppet.

construct is not better, just simpler. construct has no external dependencies. construct has no server. There are no conferences about construct. There are no consultancies that offer construct services. construct is designed to be simple enough to setup workstations and jumpboxes. It is not the right tool for many, many other use cases.

construct is okay with units that require manual operator intervention as construct is as much about documentation as it is about automation. In fact, if construct was a person it would suggest you first write your units as the kind that instruct the operator before you investigate how to make them automated and non-interactive.
