#### A utility for configuring dev/test machines for charm development

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.

Several presets are available by default to cover common charm development and testing scenarios.

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'.
