Personally, I recommend either ansible or bcfg2 over other tools. Puppet has a larger user base, but when I talk to users at conferences (such

Ansible, Bcfg2, Chef, Cobbler, Puppet, and Salt; I notice that Spacewalk is not mentioned. Any particular reason that it gets no recommendations? What about CFEngine?

I am a little new to managing large numbers of CentOS/RHEL servers and was wondering what you experienced sysadmins prefer, Spacewalk or Puppet?

I'm currently using kickstart for installing new servers and have run into the following scenario: all the machines will have the same basic setup of packages, however they will each be configured for a specific task. For example, some will be mail-serving machines and won't need things like a web or mySQL server installed. Others will be web servers and do need those packages. So my

Hi all, The underlying assumption of membership in any community is that your participation is at worst neutral, and if possible positive. Communities, online or off, generally do what they can to protect themselves from detrimental influences, which is where policies, politeness, moderators, and all that come into play. Puppet''s community has been both fortunate and awesome,

Hi, We have a virtual environment based on XenServer. In this environment I defined a template for CentOS 7 servers. I would like to start a script a boot time to complete the configuration of new VMs based on this template. How can I have a script started before any login prompt to ask question to the user to complete the configuration such as hostname, IP address, etc? Thanks, Bernard

Hey folks, I'm at colocaiton in the middle of a big rebuild and it seems I have a faulty CD rom in the server that I need to put Centos on via Kickstart. So I cannot boot the Centos 5.4 net install CD. Is PXE kickstart easy to set up? I have a laptop here with DHCP already going. I google and a bunch of stuff comes up but it does not look simple. I'm just shooting htis out ther eon

Hi During a 'normal' install i have to add a bunch of users and modify some files such as DNS, Syslog, ssh key files etc While i can do this with a shell script post install it would be VERY neat to just have all these changes packaged up into an rpm and i can then just rpm -i this post install. Can i do this and if so can anyone point me to a how-to that would help me through the

Hey folks, I stumbled upon this while looking for something else http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/151340 And it is something I could actually really make use of. But right on that site they list 3 different ones, and so I'm wondering what all is out there and what I should use. Is there one that is part of the standard CentOS? thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.

Hey folks, I have a problem with the definition of a variable of type slist in CFEngine on # uname -a ; cat /etc/redhat-release Linux policyhub.example.com 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) I'm not sure if its valid to ask CFEngine questions on this mailing list, but as far as I'm running on

Hey folks! I'm doing some %pre work for the first time in a very long time, and have been at this all day so far and still don't have anything sorted out properly. First I tried just doing some simple bash stuff like this %pre #!/bin/bash # stuff I reduced "stuff" down to basically a simple "select" statement to echo and read input, just for the sake of debugging.

Hi, we see a growing need for a better Configuration management for our servers. Are there any known good resources for a comparison of e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible etc? What would you suggest and why? :) Thanks and Regards . G?tz

Hi, Gang.. The Subject: line says it all. My organisation is looking at selecting a configuration management system. Any comments about why you chose Puppet over other options would be very helpful to us.

Hey guys, I tend to work on small production environments for a large enterprise. Never more than 15 web servers for most sites. But most are only 3 to 5 web servers. Depends on the needs of the client.I actually like to install Apache and PHP from source and by hand. Although I know that's considered sacrilege in some shops. I do this because on RH flavored systems like CentOS the

hello list, I've been asked to give someone sudo rights across an entire environment without the benefit of something like puppet or chef or cfengine et al. What I've come up with so far is this: ssh -t miaprbicsra04v sudo -S /bin/echo "rsherman ALL=\(ALL\) NOPASSWD: /sbin/service /bin/rm /usr/bin/du /bin/df" >> sudo tee /etc/sudoers Right now that's just to one
