COACH - Comprehensive Orchestration And Configuration Hub

COACH is a powerful, flexible, and extensible tool designed for configuration management and orchestration. Inspired by Ansible, COACH allows you to define and execute configuration tasks using a variety of configuration formats, including TOML, YAML, and CUE. While COACH is primarily designed for Windows environments, it can also be used for Unix/Linux systems.

Features

• Multiple Configuration Formats: Define your plays in TOML, YAML, or CUE.
• CLI-Based: Fully functional CLI tool with GUI development underway.
• Versatile Protocol Support: Execute tasks over SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, and WMI.
• Windows Focused: Optimized for Windows environments, with support for Unix/Linux systems.
• Open Source and Community Driven: Contributions from the developer community are highly encouraged.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable version recommended)
• Cargo (Rust's package manager)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/coach.git
cd coach

Build the project:

cargo build --release

Add the binary to your PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/coach/target/release

Usage

To execute a playbook, use the following command:

coach run -f /path/to/playbook.toml

COACH currently supports TOML, YAML, and CUE formats for playbooks. The format will be inferred from the file extension.

Example Playbook (TOML)

[playbook]
name = "Example Playbook for Windows"

[tasks]
[tasks.task1]
name = "Update Windows"
command = "Start-Process powershell -ArgumentList 'Install-Module PSWindowsUpdate -Force' -Verb RunAs; Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate; Get-WindowsUpdate -Install -AcceptAll -AutoReboot"

[tasks.task2]
name = "Install Chocolatey"
command = "Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))"

[tasks.task3]
name = "Install Google Chrome"
command = "choco install googlechrome -y"
