If you're not loving what #Hashicorp did, between #SystemInitiative, #OpenTF, and #Ansible AWX you now have a way to channel that energy for good and for the benefit of everyone. When it comes to #opensource, the community generally wins in the end. Now is a great time to get involved!
Some very good news. #podman support in #SystemInitiative is coming along! The discord (yeah, I know) is very active right now. If you have ways you might want to contribute or test and give feedback for this fresh #opensource #DevOps service, it's a good time to jump in the pool.

I can definitely see #SystemInitiative becoming a serious alternative to #Terraform. It's been fun to watch this very promising #opensource project take shape over discord. Things are moving along very fast!

@sboger I feel like on the face of it, #SystemInitiative takes #Terraform and then fixes a lot of the stuff I don't like about it, and then gives it a fancy VMWare vRealize style GUI, except that I don't immediately hate it.

Progress. Just had to set:

export SI_DOCKER_SOCK=/run/podman/podman.sock

Then `si start` progressed using #podman, but sadly didn't quite complete. #systeminit #SystemInitiative

I love that the tutorial instructions default to #Linux! #SystemInitiative
