The current development environment setup process leaves a lot to be desired.

Essentially, we require:

  • the ability to fix versions of python and python packages (such as django), and
  • a shell/batch script (OS dependant) to initialise a new development environment with as little user interaction as possible

The readme currently has this to say on the subject:

Automatic Provisioning and Configuration

We don't do this - yet.

The most appropriate configuration tools today (2021) appear to be Bolt or Ansible
https://puppet.com/docs/bolt/latest/bolt.html (declarative, local)
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/intro_getting_started.html (procedural, remote)
https://puppet.com/blog/automating-from-zero-to-something/

We don't need anything for the deploy server itself, but we could do with something for setting
up test servers quickly to help get newbie developers up to speed faster. But learning a new tool
creates a barrier in itself. This is one reason most of us don't use Docker.
