Reminder for Mac Puppeteers going to WWDC How about we meet for lunch at noon on Tuesday. Let''s try to get the table closet to the Odwalla refrigerator, just for reference. We can get more specific on this list on the 8th after we verify the set up. I might even get there a little earlier and put down "reserved" tags. --- Thank you, Allan Marcus Solutions Architect Central

int he example below I run facter looking for the fact "sp_serial_number". as you can see, the command facter sp_serial_number returns nothing, but the fact is there and is returned when just running facter and grepping for the fact. Some fact seem to work and others do not. any ideas? marcuspro:~ allan$ facter --version 1.5.7 marcuspro:~ allan$ facter sp_serial_number marcuspro:~

I want to create a directory and THEN get files into that directory on a client. Puppet it seems does not follow the order of commands, like below in my example. Sometimes it creates the directory, then downloads the file, and sometimes it tries to download the file before creating the directory, so the file won''t be downloaded. How can I download a file and make certain the destination

...that all puppet regularly, but then an overnight period where only one or two environments are being used. If I understand how this works correctly, this should reduce memory usage. * PassengerPoolIdleTime The default is 300 seconds.

I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to certs. My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps. So, when a Mac is ''imaged'' and subsequently re-booted, puppet is run at

I am stuck with ubuntu 9.04 as puppet master server. But puppet version is old on ubuntu 9.04: puppetmaster,puppet 0.24.5-3 Would it be possible to upgrade it to the latest version, without upgrading the OS? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I''d like to extend my use of puppet to manage my desktop/notebook macs. As others have noted, the hostname of the mobile machines tends to change frequently, so basing the node name (in my site.pp) and the corresponding cert and private key names seems to be an issue. I seem to recall somewhat talking about this at Puppet Camp last week….. Generally my signing strategy is always to

I just got approval to deploy puppet to about 1500 Macs! Now I have to actually do it. I''m considering two options. We have a security tool we use that is a Mac application and is already installed on all our Macs. Since it''s a Mac app, it''s basically a folder (a .app folder). I''m wondering if I can just install puppet into the .app directory, that way

So I can''t quite see how to do this in the existing syntax. Ideally there would be an onlyif parameter for packages, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. I could create a fact that returns true or false depending on whether the file exists, but that doesn''t feel like the right way to do it either. I could do something like: $file_exists =

Hi, I am making a resource type to manage Glassfish domains. I''m not quite sure how to specify provider commands with a sane default and in configurable way. The location of the binary may be in other locations depending on where Glassfish was installed. http://github.com/larstobi/puppet-glassfish/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/glassfish/asadmin.rb Does anyone have any advice on

Hello, The Puppet footprint within my company is steadily growing, We took the basic steps to make it more robust (passenger + apache) but in order to meet the needs of a 24x7 shop I need redundancy. I''ve read the Reductive Labs WIKI about redundancy (http://reductivelabs.com/ trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/HighAvailability) but I was wondering if anyone has experiences (good or bad) using

I am getting all these messages when run `passenger-status''. Do I need to worry about this? I am using passenger 2.2.2 with puppet 0.24.8 and apache2 on ubuntu 9.04. I installed it using the wiki http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingPassenger Thread ''Main thread'': in ''int Server::start()'' (ApplicationPoolServerExecutable.cpp:553)

It looks like mail is no longer making it the Redmine The most recently puppet-bugs entry for #2511 is from August 24th: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-bugs/browse_thread/thread/756618094cd4f29e/c9258938336dab7e?lnk=gst&q=2511#c9258938336dab7e But the most recent update to the ticket was about a day ago: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2511

I''m looking at re-working or replacing install.rb from the source distribution to allow more flexible installations, primarily to get MacPorts and Fink packages working but to also work on automatic Mac pkg creation from source. How are people currently using it? Currently the command line options are for options like --no-rdoc, --no-man, --quick, --full, but if you want to specify a

Hello, i have a couple of VLAN where each has its own subnet, now I would like to use one puppetserver for all these machines. the puppetserver has a DNS entry for each subnet and its own IP-Address VLAN 1: puppet-vm1.domain1 172.1.0.1/255.255.255.0 VLAN 2: puppet-vm1.domain2 172.1.1.1/255.255.255.0 ..... the hostname of the puppetserver is puppet-vm1.domain0, puppet created a

I''m trying to figure out how "ensure => running" determines whether a service is running or not (CentOS using init controlled services). I have a custom service that has enable => running set on it: service { "foo": ensure => running, enable => true } Every time puppet runs I see this: notice: //Service[foo]/ensure: ensure changed

Hi, I came across a use case where I would like to access a value of an attribute of a particular resource. I cannot find anything like this in the documentation.

0.25.5 changed the default vardir from /var/puppet to /var/lib/puppet and it''s caused the odd issue we have to fix in the Mac pkg preflights. After re-reading ''man hier'' I''m tempted to change the default on OS X to: /var/db/puppet instead. /var/ multi-purpose log, temporary, transient, and spool files ...
