Welcome to Flatconf
Flatconf is a system for software configuration. The idea behind it is to spread the editable variables on file system, to use it as a natural database.
So far, Flatconf 1.0 has been successfully integrated in:
Flatconf 1.0
The Flatconf project:
- defines how a directory structure needs to be constructed to create a configuration system,
- provides [source:/branches/flatconf-stable/src/lib libraries] to access and modify these structures, and
- creates [source:/branches/flatconf-stable/src/fcc user interfaces] to change Flatconf configurations.

Flatconf has a C library and a handy CLI interface called 'fcc', which looks like that (Lintrack 2.0):
root@venus:~# fcc Welcome to Flatconf CLI. Type "?" for help. venus.lan fc> cd sys venus.lan sys> ls [dir] disks Disks [dir] ssl Certificates (OpenSSL) [dir] time Date and time [txt] hostname Host name `venus.lan' [txt] hostip Preferred host IP address `192.168.1.1' [txt] sysloc System location `US, NYC, Street 2/3' [txt] sysmail System administrator e-mail address `admin@somenetwork.net' [dir] modules Kernel modules [fil] rc_local Local startup script (rc.local) venus.lan sys> ls / net if Ethernet devices [dir] eth Fast Ethernet devices [dir] ath WiFi interfaces: Atheros [dir] bond Interface bonding [dir] br Ethernet bridges PPP devices [dir] ppp PPP interfaces [dir] pppoe PPPoE interfaces [help] Tunneling devices [dir] tun IP tunnels [dir] openvpn OpenVPN tunnels [dir] chilli Chillispot venus.lan sys>
Take a look at an introductory article to Lintrack 2.0 to see how a Flatconf-powered Linux distribution can be administered.
