[O] Orgmode for managing OS configuration

[Giacomo M]

Dear all,
I would like to clean up my Linux setup to be easily replicable. I am considering keeping everything in one org file, and then tangling files (e.g. exec scripts, systemd service unit files) and executing bash snippets (e.g. for installing packages and sed'ing config files). Then one would need just emacs and git (or rsync) to start with.

Does anybody have experience with this? Is the experience positive or negative?

Also, should I just run emacs as root? Or using somehow sudo non interactively for babel blocks execution?

Thanks,

Giacomo M
