# CHUB - Configuration HUB
|
|
|
|
CHUB is a tool that helps administrators keep the servers configuration in a repository agnostic of the platform the server is running on.
|
|
It is built to be easily augmented by adding templates and building syntax checking plugins.
|
|
Advanced administrators can use it as a repository and a backup tool, while it helps beginners by providing a starting points and guidance for editing complex configurations.
|
|
|
|
Currently source code management tools or network drives are used by administrators to backup and keep their configurations. Using a SCM is overkill and it is impractical to use it to track the whole server. Most network drive technologies don't have transparent document versioning.
|
|
|
|
CHUB to the rescue!
|
|
|
|
It has following features:
|
|
* Keeps no data on the server - unlike other administration tools - chub does not modify server in any way in order to work - and allows effortless syncing between repository and server
|
|
* Shows diffs of what has changed between versions of tracked configurations - so it makes it easy to track the changes even if us pesky developers change something in production and not notify administrators
|
|
* Uses templates to help less advanced administrators to configure complex software
|
|
* Checks for syntax error of the configuration before it blows up in production and your boss complains
|
|
* UI more beautiful than anything you have ever seen (that can be build in two dayswithout a designer and specialized front end developer by using just your left foot)
