What does it do?
-
Looks like it's a fork of Puppet.
-
A software to orchestrated and manage software installations and configurations on multiple/many systems using one central system. Puppet is a great tool for medium/large scale system administration and this is a open source implementation of that.
-
OpenVox is the modern open source implementation of the world's most capable configuration management platform -- trusted by everyone from the smallest hobbyist to operators of some of the largest commercial infrastructures in the business.
Try OpenVox as the engine powering your infrastructure deployment and configuration needs and see why it's the industry standard in resource abstraction and drift remediation.

I'm gonna be so real, that's a lot of words that I didn't understand but that's okay- I suppose I'm probably not the target audience for for the software 😂
Best of luck to you and your project!

I find this happens a lot on software like this and people kind of assume visitors know what all the buzzwords mean or are in the same bubble as the developers, which is a shame really as I assume it scares a lot of people off.
TLDR: it lets you automate installing an operating system and software, mainly used for servers.

Oh that's totally sick, I bet that would be hella useful if I had another computer I wanted to set up and have everything I've got on my main machine
-
The use case is more for server and linux-type operating systems but I bet there are some crazy folk who use it for their desktops. No idea!
-
Its Configuration Management, so why would that not apply to Desktops? :)
We use it in Linux Servers, Windows Servers, Linux Desktops, Windows Desktops, etc etc :)
-
I mean I'm running Fedora, I'm sure I could find some use for it
-
Good choice! Me too! Workstation on the PC and trying to learn Silverblue on the laptop. Have you played with Silverblue?

They can't just say "it's puppet" because trademark. So they have to advertise as "alternative to the leading" blah blah to enterprises. This is absolutely targeted at enterprise to buy support, so gotta be legally friendly.
