centre is a simple Go program (github.com/https://github.com/Harvey-OS/go/tree/main/cmd/centre), which runs as a daemon or interactive program and lets you manage all your IoT devices with one file -- formatted like /etc/hosts. centre was originally written for Plan 9 networks, but is becoming widely used for many other Oses.
Like many of us, I have a house full of IoT and server systems, some running Plan 9, some Linux, and all of which need DHCP, TFTP, HTTP, and 9P boot services. Over the years, I've had my fun with various DHCP daemons, TFTP and HTTP boot servers, and 9p servers for Plan 9. All of these needed configuration files in all kinds of formats, and all had lots of ways to fail with each new upgrade.
centre removes these headaches. With just one program, one directory, and one configuration file, all the services you need are managed by the centre. In this talk, I'll go over what it is, how to set it up, and how it works.
