Linux Directory Provisioner

Tool to provision Linux users and groups. Useful for provisioning a large number of users and groups. Much faster than ansible.builtin.user and ansible.builtin.group. Used internally at WATcloud.

Getting started

1. Prepare a configuration file in the format specified in src/schema.mjs.
2. Run the following command to run the provisioner:

npx @watonomous/linux-directory-provisioner@v0.0.3-alpha.24 --config=path_to_config.json

Publishing to NPM

1. Increment the version number in package.json:

npm version prerelease --preid alpha
# or
npm version patch # or minor or major

2. Push the new version to GitHub:

git push --atomic origin main <tag>

3. Create a release on GitHub with the tag you just pushed.
4. The GitHub Action pipeline will automatically publish the new version to NPM.
