similar to: puppet on os x: definitive setup notes?

So I''ve done some Mac OS X pkgs for the latest Facter and Puppet, as well as a combined mpkg for them both. Jeff McCune and I are doing a fair bit of testing on them this week in preparation for MacWorld, so I wasn''t going to upload them to the official site for another few days, but they''re looking pretty good. http://explanatorygap.net/puppet/Facter_1.3.8.pkg.zip

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

Hey all, I have recorded my steps towards getting puppet functional through one of the four different methods that I can think of, which are: 1.Source(copying and insatlling to the recommended unix FSH directory, /usr/local/src) 2.pkg hosted at explanatorygap 3.MacPorts 4.RubyGems I haven''t cleanly tested the last two, but here''s where I am with the first two: 1. I

Hey all, I''ve open-sources Digg''s apache module: http://github.com/plathrop/puppet-module-apache I know this isn''t much more advanced than what I''ve seen a lot of people using. Here''s my proposition, though. Let''s get all the disparate "apache" modules out there merged together into One Awesome Module. What do you think? One module

Hello I have a puppetmasterd installation running on a Mac OS X 10.6.3 Server with puppet installed via macports. Earlier today it was happily signing requests, before I upgraded puppet from 0.24.8 to 0.25.4. Now I get "Invalid argument": bash-3.2# puppetca --sign bouti.carbonplanet.com bouti.carbonplanet.com err: Could not call sign: Invalid argument The only mention I can find on

Hi , just starting off with Puppet on Macs. initially we are planning for a small group of machines. If successfull we plan to span it to entire environment in a phased manner. I have a couple of newbie questions. Do i have to use custom script to create and maintain user/group accounts as far as i have read i can manage passwords ? Can i use puppet fileserver also as sourcedir for pushing

Can anyone have detailed list of dependencies? I am under impression, that all my all problems with getting puppet to work come from the fact, that I have no idea what are puppet dependencies. On puppet Wiki one can read, that what is required is "ruby", and for storedconfigs "sqlite3" and "libsqlite3-ruby". Well, it is true, that they are required, but by far it

Hello, I''ve just installed Ruby, Facter and Puppet from source (versions listed below) and am getting the following error, when trying to run Puppet 2.6.3: [root@localhost puppet]# ruby --version ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [i686-linux] [root@localhost puppet]# ruby -ropenssl -e "puts :installed" installed [root@localhost puppet]# ruby -rxmlrpc/client -e "puts

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?

So I''m still working on a ''perfect'' setup so I can document it on the wiki, and will submit some puppet patches against 0.23.2 next week, but here''s what I''ve done that has made a big difference to stability here. in puppetmasterd at line 261, I''ve modified the Mongrel instantiation from: server = Mongrel::HttpServer.new(addr,

Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

Just one more email and I''ll let you go for a few hours :) One of the things I like to see in apps is that they are immediately intuitive and easy to use for new users. I think Puppet is really good here, but there''s opportunity to make everything better. We want everyone to love Puppet from their first few minutes using it, all the way through to datacenter nirvana.

Hello all, I''m running puppet for the first ime. I''ve finished the install but I''m stuck at the certificate part. The puppet master (0.24.4-3) is running on Ubuntu Lenny and the puppet client (0.24.8-4.el5) is running on CentOS 5.3. After the install, from the client side, I''ve run: puppetd --server puppetmaster.domain.com --waitforcert 60 --test On the

Hello... I wanted to be able to startup an EC2 instance with one command and have a fully functioning server without having to shell into each new instance and configure the bits to allow puppet to finish the configuration. Here are some notes I came up with for bootstrapping an ec2 instance with puppet using Ubuntu 10.04. I left out a lot of things about creating and running custom AIM

Hi there I would like to setup my puppetmasterd behind my ADSL modem and manage the nodes on the hosting sites. I can imagine opening ports to the puppetmasterd server will work. Am I right? On the other hand an ideal configuration for me would be a Reverse Proxy setup, so I don''t have to touch the ADSL router. Has anyone setup a puppetmasterd behind a reverse proxy? Any pointers,

Has anyone seen this come up, I am using 0.24.8 version of puppet. I followed the directions on the wiki and installed passenger correctly from what I can tell.

Hi, I am using puppet (version 0.25.5-1.e15 for redhat) for password management for non-system users. This morning, users on some of my puppet clients had their encrypted password strings in /etc/shadow replaced with the following string: YAML::syck::BadAlias That has effectively broken the users'' ability to login to those servers. Puppet will not overwrite that string with the
