syslite

Minimal system information extractor written in Go. (Trying my best to keep this lightweight) Currently supports only YAML config-based execution.

echo "You love Bash commands or script..."
echo "Until you need 20 system infos, YAML configs and env injection."
echo "Copy-pasting the same mess across repos makes you question your life."

Features

• Extracts system data (based on configured fields)

• Supports flexible output rendering

  • File output (path)
  • Console output (stdout)

• Easily extendable

Sample config.yaml

extract:
  - hostname
  - os
  - distro

output:
  formats:
    json:
      path: "out/system.json"
      stdout: true

Run It

Step 1: Auto-inject env vars (Your binary)

- name: Inject sys info
  run: |
    ./syslite  # injects into $GITHUB_ENV

---

Step 2: Use injected vars

- name: Use kernel info
  run: |
    echo "Kernel version: $KERNEL_VERSION"
    if [[ "$KERNEL_MAJOR" == "6" ]]; then
      echo "Modern Linux Kernel"
    fi

---

Example of what syslite injects

KERNEL_VERSION=6.8.0-xyz
KERNEL_MAJOR=6
HOSTNAME=ci-runner-07

---

Boom. Any job after syslite now uses those injected env vars natively. Zero parsing. It can support any workflow (eg.Ansible runtime)

---

Planned

• Support CLI flags (e.g., --format, --stdout)
• Auto-detect config location
• Extend extractors (CPU, RAM, etc.)
