try it out

If you want to try out how yadt works, please check out our how to and the project page.

the Yadt concept

The yadtshell(server part) controls hosts with a yadt-minion(client part) via passwordless ssh with a minimal configuration, it handles service dependencies and package updates.

• Atarget is a set of hosts which belong together [wiki]
• Aservice in yadt is the representation of a service on a host with a LSB compatible init script
• Aservice dependency is the dependency between two services and its not limited to a service on the same host. (e.g httpd -> loadbalancer) [wiki]
