Show HN: Posixcube, a shell script automation framework alternative to Ansible

A similar tool I switched to from ansible for my personal project is https://pressly.github.io/sup. Ansible felt heavy and restrictive for my small project (lots of abstractions to learn and APIs on top of that for extensibility if those abstractions don't meet your needs).

sup on the other hand has a very small surface area of things needed to learn if you're familiar with shell scripting. I would definitely recommend it for smaller projects.

I like a lot of things about this including, first of all, the website describing it, and the screencast, and easy-to-follow instructions. It doesn't meet my needs including handling of encrypted variable substitution in file templates, but thanks for sharing.
