Can blueprint handle custom scripts?

[Eric]

Hi Guys,

I've been playing with Blueprint and the more I use it the more I admire it. It is a great tool and you guys are awesome for making it public available. I was wondering however if I could run some custom tasks that cannot be achieved via reverse engineering neither by use of a mustache template, like for example, generating an self-signed certificate based on the target hostname, or for example querying and updating external resources used to properly render configuration files. Is such things possible?

Cheers,

Eric

There isn't currently a provision in Blueprint for running arbitrary
commands before/during/after a blueprint is applied but it's something
we've discussed before. Typically, I handle this case by wrapping the
blueprint-apply invocation in another shell script.
