Propellor

Configuration management with Haskell and Git for deploying properties to hosts.

Visit Propellor

Propellor is a configuration management system built with Haskell and Git. Each managed system has a list of properties that Propellor ensures are satisfied, supporting Linux and FreeBSD. Configuration is defined in a git repository (typically ~/.propellor/) with properties written in Haskell in config.hs, using the full Haskell language rather than a domain-specific language. The repository is cloned to each host it manages in a secure way. API documentation includes built-in properties for tools such as Apt, Apache, Cron, Dns, and Docker.
