Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

System configuration management framework

Readme

maru

System configuration management framework (WIP) written with node.

javascript config management

Installation

$ npm install -g maru

Provisioning

To provision from a script simply pass it to maru(1), by default ~/.maru.js is used.

$ maru examples/github

    install : visionmedia-mon
    install : visionmedia-every
    install : visionmedia-mad
    install : visionmedia-burl
    install : visionmedia-watch
   complete : visionmedia-mad - 1s
   complete : visionmedia-burl - 1s
   complete : visionmedia-watch - 1s
   complete : visionmedia-every - 1s
   complete : visionmedia-mon - 1s

Installing configurations from npm

Maru supports packages straight from npm, for example of you invoke use('curl'), this effectively a short-hand syntax for use(require('maru-curl')()), where maru-curl is published as:

module.exports = function(){
  return {
    name: 'curl',
    which: 'curl',
    install: function(env, fn){
      env.exec('apt-get install curl -y', fn);
    }
  }
};

In your config script:

use('curl')

NOTE: maru assumes that the maru- prefix is always used in the npm name. For a list of available packages visit the wiki Packages page.

Debugging

To enable debug output simply run with the DEBUG env variable set to "maru":

$ DEBUG=maru maru examples/apt

  maru jobs 3 +0ms
  maru use curl +3ms
  maru use git +0ms
  maru use make +0ms
