Remco

remco is a lightweight configuration management tool. It's highly influenced by confd. Remcos main purposes are (like confd's):

• keeping local configuration files up-to-date using data stored in a key/value store like etcd or consul and processing template resources.
• reloading applications to pick up new config file changes

Differences between remco and confd

• Multiple source/destination pairs per template resource - useful for programs that need more than one config file
• Multiple backends per template resource - get normal config values from etcd and secrets from vault
• Pongo2 template engine instead of go's text/template
• Zombie reaping support (if remco runs as pid 1)
• Additional backends can be provided as plugins.
• Create your own custom template filters easily with JavaScript.
• Exec mode similar to consul-template.
