Each service should reside in its own directory.
Everything should be automated, including:
- backups,
- turning the backup back into a service,
- configuring the service to run,
- Makefile (or similar) wherever practical,
- Idempotency.
All secrets stored elsewhere (probably in the dmzadmin repo)
Any maintenance scripts.
Configurations should reside in shadow-directories, e.g. a backup soft-serve's config.yaml should reside in this repo under splint.rs/soft-serve/etc/soft/config.yaml.

Network Database

I have a half-baked plan to finally make use of plain-text databases, and it's already half-working. Try these commands:

Ask what types of _rec_ords it contains:

Database

recinf network.rec

Select queries

Select with recsel, then specify the database (.rec) and type of record (like table in db).

--include-descriptors or -d
--type or -t
--expression or -e
--quick or -q

recsel network.rec --type router
recsel network.rec -d -t lxc

User -q for a --quick selection, or -e for more precise selections.

recsel network.rec --type lxc --quick wiki
recsel network.rec -t lxc -q nginx
recsel network.rec -t lxc -e "name ~ 'nginx'"
recsel network.rec -t lxc -e "name = 'nginx12'"

Insert queries

Insert a new record with recins.

recins network.rec -t lxc -r "name: bob" -r "service: bob" -r "host: moxx"

Update queries

If you can select something, you can also set its fields with recset.

Use -f to set the --field, and -a to --add, or -s to --set.

recset network.rec -t lxc -e "name = 'nginx12'" -f proxies -a soft-serve
recsel network.rec -t lxc -e "name = 'nginx11'" -p proxies[0]
recset network.rec -t lxc -e" name = 'nginx11'" -f proxies[0] -s wiki9
