I just found about this project from this comment, absolutely excited to try this out.

As someone who's never used any of the infrastructure tools, I'm thinking of pyinfra as a way to run shell commands + install dependencies on hosts (declaratively?) on a bunch of hosts via ssh.

Inventory is to sort of take a self-defined inventory on a bunch of hosts?

One final question on usage, would it be possible to sync or reference files from the machine running pyinfra on the remote hosts? Or would that have to be done indirectly via running shell commands to sync?

Missed this comment apologies!

- ops are (mostly) declarative, but some (server.shell) will always execute the command given

- inventory is just that, basically a list of hosts to target plus associated data, docs page: https://docs.pyinfra.com/en/2.x/inventory-data.html

- absolutely for syncing files, check out the files.put and files.template operations (and the files ops in general): https://docs.pyinfra.com/en/2.x/operations/files.html
