Getting Started
What is Fora?
Fora is an infrastructure and configuration management tool inspired by Ansible and pyinfra. Yet, it implements a drastically different approach to inventory management (and some other aspects), when compared to these well-known tools. See how it differs for more details.
Installation & Quickstart
You can install Fora with pip:
Afterwards, you can use it to write scripts which will be used to run operations or commands on a remote host.
These scripts are executed against an inventory, or a specific remote host (usually via SSH).
To start with your own (more complex) deploy, you can have Fora create a scaffolding in an empty directory. There are different scaffoldings available for different use-cases.
Fora can do a lot more than this, which is explained in the Introduction section. If you are interested in how Fora is different from existing tools, have a look at Outlining the differences.
