[#]linux question. Is there a simple deployment tool that can do the following (for a single server and single project):

1. log in to a remote ssh server as user A

2. copy files from local to remote as user B (user A has sudo permissions)

3. copying should ideally using rsync (or similar) to only copy changes

4. run a command on the remote server as root (again via sudo)

5. everything should run through a single SSH connection, not multiple ones

6. all controlled via a simple config file?

7. no daemon (other than ssh) on the remote server

I feel like this should be possible, but I can't find anything simple (I don't want to learn a full blown multi-server deployment system)

@splitbrain is User B an account on the local system or the remote?

There's probably a way to set this up with https://just.systems - - especially a shebang recipe.

@ben_zen user b is remote. just looks interesting, but from what I understand it's more of a make replacement than something that inherently understands remote shell access and sudo mechanisms? I don't see the advantage over a bash script (for my usecase) then...

@splitbrain

Mostly in being a sort of superior runner environment. I think scripting is your best option, honestly.
