TODO

• Add more docstrings
• Cleanup functions, refactor if defaults are never exposed
• Add logging of all actions completed or failed (stderr)
• Add last updated date to the serilization header comment
• Document how-to: Install in a venv
• Document how-to: Do a non-destructive test run (example usage)
• Document how-to: Deployment via systemd periodic task
• Document how-to: Deployment via cron job
• Document how-to: Install via ansible role
• Document how-to: Install via pip

Possible future features

These didn’t meet my imediate design goals but would not be difficult to add:

• Preserve current content of authorized_keys file
• Target remote systems (emulate ssh-copy-id functionality or wrap it)
