I discovered Capistrano while I was trying to figure out what I wanted. See attached notes. http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/GNOSIS/Kraken Puppet seems promising. Thanks, Brian -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/

Hi! I just installed iClassify without a problem, it is running and accessable but I get a rather strange error when trying to run the icagent commands: $ ./bin/icagent -s http://puppet02:3000 -d icagent/ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2094:in `error!'': 500 "Internal Server Error " (Net::HTTPFatalError) from ./bin/../lib/iclassify/client.rb:83:in `run_request''

Hi all, It looks like I''ll be in Seattle on Sunday, September 16th through Tuesday the 18th, and I''d like to have Puppet Meetup either Sunday or Monday night. On Adam''s recommendation, I''ll be staying at the Queen Anne Inn, so something near there would be best. Hopefully Adam or Blake can do the actual organization. :) Any takers? -- What is

Hi, Is it possible to have an array as the output of a custom fact? And then to pass it into a template in Puppet? I currently have a fact that looks like this: Facter.add("exports") do setcode do case Facter.hostname when (/thishost/i): [ "/local", "/local2" ] end end end & a template like this: <%

Hi there, me again! I´m looking for a solution for the following: I have two (a bunch really..) of services that work together and have to exchange some configinformation between each other. I can get this to work in only one of three cases: 1. Works # class serviceB { file {"serviceBconfig": content => $serviceA::serviceAvar } } # # class serviceA { $serviceAvar

Does any one know or whether have someone done custom reports in puppet. Which will show the status of the servers, disk, cpu, load, pkg list, configs/files edited via puppet, how often a config file is updated, etc.. -- Deepak _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users

I''m having a heck of a time trying to fix #1178, which is a problem related to inconsistent node names, and it all stems from the ''node_name'' setting. In the default setup, your certificate gets created with your host''s fully qualified node name, and Puppet uses the value from the certificate for everything. In addition, there''s a setting,

Hi all, I''m in the throes of the REST conversion and I''m wondering: How important is it to retain backward compatibility? The language will clearly be consistent between the two, but it looks like it''s going to be a heckuva lot more complicated to keep compatibility for all network services (as in, for each of them, I''ll have to write a shell that

I''m sure everyone has read and committed the Puppet Best Practice to memory by now (I joke). One of the things I''ve written in there deals with trailing commas, which I adopted from the way I used to do multiline in Perl, but I''ve noticed that most people don''t tend to do that in Puppet. Should I revise this or should we all start using the trailing commas?

Hi, We''ve been using puppet for a couple of months now (started with a new deployment for a customer, and it''s slowly taking over their whole environment). We''re gradually getting our heads around it, but there are some things that we''re hoping other people have encountered and solved before us. First one is to do with scoping... We have defined some

Let''s say I have two different geographic sites. They are pretty much identical ie. each site has a machine called web1 which is a web server, etc. Except there are couple site-specific settings ie. outgoing DNS servers are different, SSL certs are different etc. On the puppetmaster I can put in a file called e.g. /etc/sideid which would uniquely identify a site ie. siteX or siteY.

Does any one have a recipe for getting facter facts from ldap?

While VNC is good enough, it doesn’t work if the NIC is down. So is there a way to switch amongst guest VM’s once a crash cart’s monitor/keyboard/mouse is attached to the video/USB/etc. ports (on the back of the physical box running XEN)? For the network down (out-of-band) emergencies, is there a way to switch amongst domain and/or guest VM consoles once a crash cart ‘terminal’

I want to use Puppet and Facter on a machine where I don''t have sudo or root access privileges. I won''t be using Puppet for anything that requires that level of access, so I should be OK if I can get it on the box. Any advice on how to proceed? Currently the Facter installer complains that it doesn''t have privileges for /usr/bin/facter. I assume Puppet will have the same

Hi. I''ve noticed that on servers that are both puppet and LDAP clients, the puppet client will hang if the LDAP server is not reachable. Does anyone know what the reason for this is?

Hi, I was looking for a solution to change the value of a variable using include (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ CommonMisconceptions), and found an interesting solution on the kinial SPEC (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/KinialSpec). But I can''t find more about this project ? iClassify derives from this spec, but the interesting part (inheritance) is not supported.

I''ve seen a couple of examples of using puppet to control services where you can''t run a puppet agent on the resource. As far as I can tell they work by having puppet proxy through some external-service control mechanism, such as fog. The question is: where does the proxy run? I assume a puppet agent needs to run somewhere. Where do you put that agent, how do you configure it,

I''ve been trying to get a couple of web automation tools going today and having a hard time. Seems like everything I try is outdated and won''t run on my environment. Mechanize seemed like a good one but it doesn''t want to run: require ''rubygems'' require ''open-uri'' require ''mechanize'' agent = Mechanize.new

I''m about to leave town for three weeks and my home server keeps rebooting. It''s my mail server, unfortunately, so there''s a good chance you won''t get this. :/ Anyway, I''ve been meaning to do this for ages and ages, and it''s time to finally do so. I need to move all of the Puppet lists to a public, non-me provider, someone who has

I am confused about all the database talk on the list lately. I''ve been playing with Puppet for the last 6 months and have never set up a DB for it to use. What are you guys using the DB for? My first though (really the only thing I could find) was for storing node configurations. But I''m storing them in the file system and it seem to work just fine. What are the advantages
