A declarative, reproducible, statically-typed build/deployment toolset

Salo is a declarative, reproducible, statically-typed configuration language for building and deploying operating system images. This leads to composable, scalable, and functional operating systems in-situ. For more information about features, read our documentation.

Features

• Expressive type system (dependent, first-class functions and types)
• Efficient deployment (leveraging diffs to only deploy what you need)
• On-the-fly changes (configuring systems as quickly as possible)
• Powerful history management (view configuration history, and rollback to previous deployments)
• Staged changes (see exactly what your configuration does, before it's deployed)

Getting started

To get started with Salo, run (with Cargo):

cargo t
