Hi all, I''m using the pear/pecl package providers from http://www.mit.edu/~marthag/puppet/ and I''ve run into a memory limit problem. I''ve tried hacking the script so that it passes additional options to pecl/pear, however these just error out about not being valid options (even though they are!). I''m now at a point where the following stanza gives the

What''s the correct yum repo to use for installing Puppet & Facter on RHEL5 and Centos5? I used to get them from the dlutter-rhel5 repo but this seems to be massively out of date now - latest version of puppet-server in there is 0.24.5-1.el5 and facter 1.5.4-1.el5. In Epel I see puppet-server 0.24.8-1.el5.1 and facter 1.5.4-1.el5 which is better but isn''t 1.5.4 the version

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

Hi all. We have a bunch of RHEL servers running Puppet. They are also connected to our Red Hat Satellite server. Currently we don''t have any master documentation system that stores all relevant information (i.e. type of server, hardware info, linux configuration, etc) about the servers. So what I''d like to do is implement some sort of system that can hold all this information.

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

Hi, I''m looking to find a way to get the target filename inside a template. (e.g. if I have file {"/tmp/foo": content => template("foo")} I want to have a variable represent "/tmp/foo" inside the template. I''ve already tried using file, scope etc, but looking at the code, it doesn''t seems that i can access the filename inside the

My custom external nodes script sets the environment variable, but Puppet ignores it. For testing, I have a manifest that deploys this template to a file: environment = <%= environment %> The output from my external nodes script: --- classes: - devhost environment: development parameters: memcached_memory: ''32'' But running "puppetd --test" results in the

Hello, I am not sure if I trigger a bug and if so it could also be in ruby sqlite3 backend. However, maybe I do something totally wrong. I have the following part in puppet.conf: [master] storeconfigs = true dblocation = /var/lib/puppet/state/clientconfigs.sqlite3 dbadapter = sqlite3 Now every time a client (agent in puppet speak) is run I get one more connection to the

hi, i''m trying to set up my puppetmaster infrastructure with multiple puppetservers behind load balancers in each of our datacenters. i''m using 0.24.6. i''ve read the howto on puppet scalability, and i think i''ve got the ssl config working correct, but i''m noticing that when puppetd is used to build a puppetmaster, some of the files in $vardir/ ssl

So I have been trying to run puppet once in my kickstart %post scripts but every time it detaches and daemonizes even though I have explicitly stated otherwise. Am I missing something? # rpm -q puppet puppet-0.24.8-1 # /usr/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --debug debug: Creating default schedules debug: Failed to load library ''shadow'' for feature

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
