1. You can't push any built package to the server. You can only ask server
to go to github, pull the sources and build the package. Security is the
same as you will clone and build github repository.
To gain better security - you can fork repo (that is why I use
namespace/name in packages).
To gain even better security - you can start your own build server and
mention it as repository in the client's config. Server is started with one
command `docker-compose up -d` - quite simple.
2. As you can see - my client uses rebar/erlang.mk and can resolve links
from hex. I can't say it is 100% compatible, but it even can build package
from rebar project.
But the main reason of using python is - it has lots of plugins and
modules. For now I use only Jinja2 templating in erlang configs, but
theoretically we can use any plugin available in ansible.
