similar to: Problem Managing Ruby Gems

Hi, I think this has been discussed previously on the list, so apologies if I''m covering old ground but I''ve been using puppet to manage a few Rails applications which have dependencies on quite a few gems, so it''s getting to be a bit of an onerous task to manage them. It looks like the command line interface to gems doesn''t really support automated

Hello... I am trying to switch to mongrel from webrick to get rid of the . puppetmaster is FreeBSD 6.2 with ruby, puppet, and mongrel all from ports (latest as of this morning).

I downloaded the gems from rubyforge, but they are a couple of revs back. What''s the reasoning behind this? I''m no expert, but would be willing to keep rubyforge updated if needed.

Hi, I''m working on a method to manage packages which require a reboot after being installed. I''m curious how other people are handling this problem. Consider the resource: pkg_deploy { "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9Intel.dmg": alias => macosx1049 } I''d like to only install the package under if the following conditions are met: - No user is logged into the

Hello all, I have what is certainly a stupid problem on my part. I have setup puppet in a test environment and it''s been working wonderfully. I am now in the process of moving this to our production systems and I have rebuilt our puppetmaster completely from scratch using the same modules/manifests, etc. from my test system. Unfortunately I am running into an issue with what I

Hello, I found in the docs that I can change the editor I use on a per vm bases with the following: *EDITOR=$your-favorite-editor virsh edit $your-vm-name* But how do I change it permanently so when I run: *virsh edit $your-vm-name* It defaults to my favorite editor (vim)?

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

In the normal override method, you can change the value of a parameter, but can you unset a parameter? file { "/etc/somefile": mode => 644, owner => "dude" } File ["/etc/somefile"] { mode => unset } ??

I''m seeing these in my logs on my puppetmaster: puppetmasterd[4111]: Could not store configs: SQLite3::SQLException: SQL logic error or missing database: DELETE FROM fact_values WHERE "id" = 8 currently this is 0.24.0 relect from some previously collected resource that wasn''t cleaned up? upgrade issue? nothing to worry about? that''s the only

Hi all, I have a situation where I want to use the same template to create two different files in two different classes. I''ve tried to lookup some information on what is possible with templates, how advanced you can get, but haven''t found much. I guess it''s one of the areas where I should contribute to the docs - once I figured out what I can do, that is...

I''ve converted all of the inline docs over to restructured text, and I''ve got them all up on trac: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/FunctionReference http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ReportReference http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ConfigurationReference Please let me know if you find any

I posted this earlier on IRC, but it didn''t seem anyone was active: <mozillaman>Hey all! <mozillaman>Quick question for you :) <mozillaman>I installed puppet according to the directions on the site and got this: sudo /usr/bin/puppetmasterd --nonodes undefined method `retrieve'' for nil:NilClass <mozillaman>Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I am sure this subject has come up before. I did not find anything on Google that comes close to what I am trying to do. I would like to manage different groups on multiple nodes using puppet and do not know of a good way to do it. Does anyone have an idea of how I can accomplish this? Any help will be appreciated.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You folks were so helpful with my last problem I thought I''d try again. I''m attempting to use the services filetype to ensure that ntpd is running on all my hosts. Unfortunately this does not seem to be working on my Gentoo test system.

Hi, I would find it very useful if puppet were able to replicate passwords for specified users from a master PC (the puppetmaster would do me fine, though I suspect this may not suit everyone). That would make changing passwords on my small Linux network a little easier. cheers John Dubery

Hi all, One of the major new features in the upcoming release is that Puppet now uses a graph library internally to handle resource relationships. The big benefit to all of you is that you can use this library to turn these graphs into images. The trick, right now, is adding --graph when you run puppetd. This creates .dot files, which can then be interpreted by the

Hi, I''ve just changed my debian preseed configuration to install the debian unstable package of puppet v0.22.1. As part of the preseed I have a late command that clobbers the /etc/init.d/puppet file into using the puppet standalone program and not the puppetd (as this is what I''m using). Since the upgrade to 0.22.1 every boot hangs during the initd. Going into standalone mode
