Is it possible to install a solaris streams package with puppet? As some of my machines are not allowed to be a nfs client, I transfer the bunch of packages to these clients with the file type and puppet:// ... If the packages are in filesystem format there can be hundreds of files within large packages. It takes a huge amount of time to transfer all of them. So I''ve changed them into

Hi guys, Which puppet operations should i try to avoid? I know that probably the most time consuming operations are file copies, but, is there something from the code point of view that I should try to avoid? I''ve seen for example, that on Solaris, puppet will execute pkginfo quite alot of times - sometimes with a package name, some other times without (pkginfo -l), thats extremely time

I tested applying the package manually outside of Puppet and it works perfectly, but when I attempt to push it out via Puppet it fails. Puppetmaster Version: 0.23.2 [Ubuntu Linux 7.10 - Puppet built from source] Puppet client version: 0.23.0 [Sun Solaris 10 Zone - Puppet built from source] The

I''m trying to write a wrapper definition for the file type to make it a bit smarter. I have a basic version working fairly well: define xfile($owner = root, $group = root, $mode = 644, $source, $backup = main, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup, recurse

Hi folks, I''m about to propose to my current company that we use puppet to manage releases of home grown software. The environment is a mix of Solaris 8/9/10 and RHEL 5&6. I''ve got a handle on how to create recipes to release software into the RHEL environment. The unknown for me is how to manipulate the pkgadd provider to load the locally grown package stream. Can

Hello, I ran into this problem today, I am trying to implement "One click installation", I followed foreman howtos and set up the pre-requisites accordingly. However, when I click on "Build" button, I get the following errors in the foreman''s console and another error in the web interface indicating that the installation failed. Any ideas? *"PuppetCA: SSL/CA or

When I say busybox it''s actually VMware ESX server which seems to use busybox (which I guess is the case a number of other software appliances) . Reason for wanting to install puppet is to run the cli tools to create nightly vmware snapshots. I''m happy to give it a go (and add the docs to the wiki) but I''m not too sure at this stage how big a task this might be and what,

Hello, I have enabled summary emails from foreman and set up a cron job which sends me periodic summary emails. However, the mail''s content is sort of plain text. Now this is more like a feature request rather than a problem, I am wondering if we could use some kind of HTML template and pass the values through this HTML template and then mail the output as a summary email to the

Is there a way to force the puppetmaster to resign certificates for existing certificates when a new CSR for the same hostname arrives? When we reinstall freshly formatted clients with puppet (with the same hostname) the puppet client complains: err: Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it

I''m having difficulty getting my head around some CA issues My client has: [puppetd] ca_server=puppetca.mydomain.com and puppet resolves to a different machine. when puppet connects, it requests a signature from puppetca.mydomain.combut then on the next pass fails with the following: err: Could not retrieve catalog: Certificates were not trusted: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0

Does anyone have a technique for performing an exec the first time puppetd runs but then reverting to refreshonly => true state for subsequent runs? The basic idea is: file { "/etc/foo": notify => Exec["bar"] } exec { "bar": command => "Do stuff to /etc/foo", refreshonly => true } Should I use a fact that is unset based on a

Hello All, So I finally got around to start to cut over node definitions from standard flat files to external nodes (foreman), and getting error message: "Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find node ''nodename''; cannot compile" - So basically it can''t pick up the node from the external node config. When I test the fetching of the yaml file it seems to work

Hello All, I''m trying to start using external nodes under foreman, and I''m running into some issues. I have the entries in puppet.conf: [main] external_nodes = /etc/puppet/external_node.rb node_terminus = exec The enternal_node.rb script is the one that came with foreman: #!/usr/bin/ruby # a simple script which fetches external nodes from Foreman # you
