Resource wishlist

[thequailman]

This provider is really exciting--I really like how you've architected the provider. I'm pretty sure I can switchover my Ansible to this with the current three resources (script, directory, file), some higher level ones would make it easier to avoid using scripts everywhere. Here is my wishlist, happy to contribute if you want to expand the resource scope:

• User and group management (CRUD users and groups, including password management)
• Service management (start/stop/restart/enable/disable systems services)
• Line in file (expand file resource to allow specific edits)
• Symlink files

Glad to see your interest in this provider. I think it's a great idea to expand the resources, would love to see a PR for this. Cheers.

I'd add:

• gpg keys management
• repository management
• package management for repository packages and downloaded ones

Maybe the first two could be accomplished by the use of file and folder resources, but I think a native resource would have a better UX

@thequailman Not sure if the items on your wishlist are still relevant.

If they are, you may check out the resources system_user, system_group, system_service_systemd, and system_link in the terraform-provider-system.
