concierge is an opinionated utility for provisioning charm development and testing machines.
Its role is to ensure that a given machine has the relevant "craft" tools and providers installed, then bootstrap a Juju controller onto each of the providers. Additionally, it can install selected tools from the [snap store](https://snapcraft.io) or the Ubuntu archive.
Configuration is by flags/environment variables, or by configuration file. The configuration file must be in the current working directory and named 'concierge.yaml', or the path specified using the '-c' flag.
There are 3 presets available by default: 'machine', 'k8s' and 'dev'.
Some aspects of presets and config files can be overridden using flags such as '--juju-channel'. Each of the override flags has an environment variable equivalent, such as 'CONCIERGE_JUJU_CHANNEL'.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install concierge, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install concierge --classic
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
