Re: Show HN: A simple Go utility to ease deployments via SSH and SCP
#23Heh, I made a similar thing (mostly unreleased/undocumented at [0], original idea at [1]) that would take your Go code, build a binary wrapper for it using the target OS arch, SSH to the target, SCP the file over, run the binary, connect stdout/stderr/stdin with the remote, allow the remotely running binary to request files from the home binary, and delete itself once complete. One thing I found is SCP/SFTP is a real…

Judo seems like a great automation option for some simpler tasks where Ansible could be considered overkill. For me, that covers almost 100% of my remote automation needs. :) Nice!

#24Small question: In the readme (first section) you use, as an example, the command: "Run adduser bob 2>/dev/null" why do you add the "2>/dev/null" part? I see a lot of tutorial/guide/example/etc... do that! I understand what it does (send the stderr to devnull) but i don't understand why would i want to do that?
Adduser will fail a second time, and show "user already exists" or similar. We hide that via the redirect

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's a good point. Ansible is robust, well-known, well-supported, and has support for doing anything and everything from creating users, to setting cron-jobs, MySQL users, and more. This application only allows two things: * Uploading a file, or series of files. * Running a command, or series of commands. In short I'm very simple. But because of that it avoids some of the horrors of trying to be overly-complex in t…
So perhaps this is most comparable to Python's fabric library.
Yes I think that is a fair comparison. Fabric allows a similar set of primitives.

Another infrastructure as code (not code as in YAML, etc.), but programming language 'code' tool is Pulumi[0].
