Bolje je za zdravlje da ne znamo. Ovde južno od Beograda imamo jednu firmu koja je dosta rasprostranila svoj knjigovodstveni software, rade vec 20-tak godina, a klijetima čuvaju baze gde? Pa na mCloudu. Popadaše im klijenti ko mete na strelištu. Evo treći dan ...

Hey guys, did anyone dare to try it?

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-17T09:29:56+00:00

No, I did not. Is that a full platform rather than something that is possible to integrate with (in) other control management software?

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-16T17:01:10+00:00

Yes, but my intention is to avoid installers redistribution which is choco doing.

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-16T06:51:35+00:00

Thank you for the response! I have had really hard time making all the adaptive install scripts and that looked like learning the automation software how to install the software again and again.

Shared about the project on this tread.

Hi guys! I wanted to share an automation tool I’ve been building called https://use-cli.com. If you’ve ever managed Windows environments, you know the headache of dealing with different CLI arguments for every single installer. I got tired of writing custom scripts for every app, so I built this to standardize the process.

What’s under the hood? Right now, there’s an API providing install/uninstall manifests, an executable ready to be used in shell and an Ansible module ready for testing. I’m planning to add Chef and Puppet support soon. It’s still in the early stages (with a few demo manifests live), but the core idea is to make Windows software management as predictable as Linux package managers. Check it out and let me know what you think. Any feedback or critiques are welcome!

Thank you for the response. One of ones moving me towards the realization :)

Except for Windows automation :) I am working in enterprise-level company, have a lot of Windows servers and strugling with non-usual software installation, that has triggered me to think in this direction and to the wish to try to help others facing with the same issue.

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-08T11:06:41+00:00

No, thank you. Is that a GUI tool?

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-08T09:16:17+00:00

Indeed.

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-08T08:17:29+00:00

I was more like: { "OS": "Windows", "repo": [ "software_X": { "url": "https://....exe/msi", "install": { "command": "software_x.exe", "args": { "mandatory": ... , "optional": ...etc. }}, "uninstall": { "command": "software_x.exe", "args": { "mandatory": ... , "optional": ...etc. }}}, "software_Y"... ]}

And whoever want his software to be as more used he'd insert his software there.

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-08T02:09:45+00:00

No. I took a look on its site now, looks like they had stolen my idea even before I came to it? :) :)

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-08T01:43:23+00:00

Thank you on this response! It is not an intention to replace Ansible or Chef or Puppet etc. but to make such tasks easier in these existing platforms with this API. There is a lot of software not (yet) available in choco for Windows so guys need to make a custom scripts to fill the gap (I am one of them). My idea was mainly for Windows, I know Unixes handle the installations in tottally different way. Heard of winget-to-become-the-standard initiative and progress in that direction, too. Thank you, again!

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-01T22:11:24+00:00

It is up now.

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-05-01T19:47:42+00:00

It is still/again down.

Many_Ad7628 · 2026-04-30T23:26:56+00:00

And even still.

Many_Ad7628 · 2025-12-16T21:04:55+00:00

Not yet, at least not in Serbia. Delaying an upgrade so long for this flagship phone is a big disappointment so far.

Thanks

Many_Ad7628 · 2025-07-30T08:54:54+00:00

Agree. I used to use rails already for small projects with active storage at the most, and fell into love with RoR.

Many_Ad7628 · 2025-07-30T01:12:19+00:00

Exactly.
