aconfmgr is a shell-based configuration manager for Arch Linux that tracks installed packages and changes to /etc configuration files as extensible shell scripts. It can save, restore, and audit a system's configuration, helping users rebuild or maintain lean systems.

Use cases

  • restore my arch linux system configuration on a new machine
  • track changes to /etc config files
  • find obsolete packages on arch linux
  • back up list of installed packages including AUR
  • detect unwanted configuration drift on my system
  • scriptable alternative to ansible for arch

When to choose

  • you run Arch Linux and want declarative-ish tracking of packages and /etc
  • you need to reproduce a system setup quickly after reinstall or on new hardware
  • you prefer plain shell scripts over Puppet/Ansible/NixOS complexity

When to avoid

  • you are not on Arch Linux or an Arch-based distribution
  • you need full infrastructure orchestration across many machines
  • you want a declarative immutable system like NixOS
