Hi all, I''m Benjamin Sonntag, I''m one of the AlternC project developpers. AlternC is an opensource mass-hosting control panel software suite based on debian. We are working on a new version of this control panel, and we want to make the less and the best work we can for this version. So, as usual, we are using as much free software as we can, and we started to use puppet for

Greetings, I just found Puppet last night. Really wish that the discovery had been made last month before tons of late night messy bash scripts were written to help boot up an ec2 image.... With very little effort Puppet is now installed on my desktop as a server and one of my staging servers is able to call into the puppetmaster to run a very very simple manifest. So far I am super-

We'd like to get new users to the information they need quickly and one thing new users want to know is if they can use Puppet for what they want to do. So far, we don't have a very extensive (or thorough) list of platforms and software solutions that our community is using with Puppet. To deal with this, I've drafted a short list of platforms under which Puppet is

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

Hi, I''m new to puppet and trying to get started using it just in local mode. My basic question is: how can i reference a static file within the module (eg in the module''s files/ subdirectory, as described in http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ModuleOrganisation). I suppose i could try using a full.absolute path to the file, but that seems to completely defeat the purpose

Hi, I use dovecot 1.0.15 on Debian Lenny. In my /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf, i use user_query = SELECT path, 33 AS uid, uid AS gid FROM mail_users WHERE alias = '%u' The result is something like this /var/alternc/mail/d/denis_collectifs.net and is the correct location (the Maildir is created by an script) But the problem is that dovecot creates (when you log in for the first time) a

On http://puppet.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes are currently listed two complete sets of puppet configurations: the remarkable David Schmitt''s Complete Configuration: git clone git://git.black.co.at/manifests davids-manifests the Lab42 Puppet Infrastructure I''m working on (alpha stage, nothing is definitive): git clone git://live.lab42.it/puppetinfrastructure

Hey folks, I''ve just uploaded an apache2 module[1] to our Google Code repository[2]. It''s based largely on the recipe available on the Puppet trac[3], but with a fair amount of modification and generalization... Basically, it provides abstractions for config file snippets, site definitions, and apxs modules -- and then "basic" and "debian"

Hello all, I have set up a public svn repository with some facts that we have written over time: https://svn.ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de/dav/ikwadmin/public/puppet/facts/ (yes, it is svn). Now, I was wondering where to document this on the puppet-wiki (or should it rather be the facter-wiki) http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/tags/facter%2Crecipe does not give any clear hint on this. Maybe I

"The important thing to understand about how schedules are currently implemented in Puppet is that they can only be used to stop an element from being applied, they never guarantee that it is applied." A schedule does not say this will happen this often, it says this can not happen more than this often. Thus with the default half hour updates the proposed schedule would not have any

Hi, [First, a quick introduction... I''m one of the sysadmins at Koumbit.org, and we''re evaluating puppet for managing our modest server farm. I''ve already started writing recipes and manifests and intend to share those with this community. Part of my time worked on this will be directly paid by Koumbit.] So we''ve got a few half-finished puppet modules here:

Hi there, I was looking through examples of puppet recipes and came across: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ClamAV I notice the exhaustive listing of each files properties and settings and wonder if there is a way to have a file inherit settings from other files? Ie instead of: file { "main_cvd": path => "/var/lib/clamav/main.cvd",

Hi there. I''m trying to wrap my head around puppet and its parlance and need some guidance... 2 Questions: 1) I have done some puppet stuff on a new server and would like to hear whether I have done things "the right way" 2) I want to build on top of that and am not sure how... Question 1 ========== We don''t normally host static websites for people, but have been

Hi, I''m trying to set up apache2 under puppet, as in this recipe: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/DebianApache2Recipe I have a file "apache2.pp" as shown there, and then a webserver.pp file (see below). On running puppetd on the client, I get this message: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Could not find definition site in file

Hi all, I''ve got a problem when using the Apache2 recipe https:// reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/DebianApache2Recipe. Puppet is enabling modules and sites on every run, which in turn triggers a reload of Apache. I''ve figured out, that it must be the unless line in the exec statement that''s causing the problem: unless => "/bin/sh -c

Hello I''d love a bit of advice in terms of how I should best go about this. I am creating a bunch of vhosts, their definitions are stored in json (I''m using heira) that json file will be generated from data held on another server. I''m just using the puppetlabs apache module and create_resources to then generate all the vhosts and their directories etc. I''m

anyone have an apache2 virtualhosts template they like and would like to share? For example I would like to provision quickly website1.com website2.com website3.com and have the docroots be in /home/vhosts/website1.com/htdocs/ /home/vhosts/website2.com/htdocs/ /home/vhosts/website3.com/htdocs/ thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you

Hi list, Here''s my files directory in my apache module: files | +-> ted.haha.com bob.haha.com etc.haha.com I have a custom myexists function that returns boolean. I''d like to check for a vhosts directory underneath each of those $fqdn directories, i.e., if myexits("/var/puppet/modules/apache/files/${fqdn}/vhosts") { # serve every file in

Hi, I''m having trouble writing a recipe to handle apache/passenger. First, here is my apache2 class, found here : http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/DebianApache2Recipe --------------------------------------------- $apache2_sites = "/etc/apache2/sites" $apache2_mods = "/etc/apache2/mods" class apache2 { [...] define module ( $ensure =

Hello, I use a type i just written that install apache basicaly it is httpd and you provide the version (it is just a wrapper to the packets system) .
