For example: /pxe/host1/<normal OS directory structure> /pxe/host2/<normal OS directory structure> ..... /pxe/hostn/<normal OS directory structure> Can

Hi Experts, I remember we had this discussion before, but could find it. Can I run a command to generate a "Compiled catalog" for a specific node (on the master node)? And apply this on the client node? What are the limitations for doing this? Basically we have special handling for the webserver/CA part of puppet. Thank you very much! -Yushu

Hi, First of all, this is my very first message to this list, so please bear with me while I''m getting used to it.

I have set up puppet to create a facts.yaml file for mcollective using the following line: content => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| k.to_s =~ /(uptime.*|timestamp|.*free|macaddress.*|ipaddress)/ }.to_yaml %>"), However, it is creating a lot of unnecessary changes by reordering the facts in the yaml output as you can see in the diff output between to

Hi, I''m building a staging environement and I would like it to be able to redeploy automatically, after each commit - or every hour, some applications.

I''ve been thinking a lot about running mcollective on my production servers recently, especially about its nice integration with puppet (using facts and so on). However I''ve got some concern about its scalability - how publish/subscribe middleware scales in terms of speed and flooding the network. I run about 2000 servers. Has anyone got any experience running mcollective on

We''re running puppet 2.7.11 and facter 1.6.1. We''re at a point where we need to start having some custom facts for our environment but we''re not sure the best way to go around it, so I''m looking for feedback from the community. I''ve setup custom facts with facter now and have successfully polled these and also proven that the puppet clients have

Hi. I have the following facts available: # facter | grep oper operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.2 Now, if I wish to use conditionals on these facts, I have to do it like this: case $operatingsystem {} case $::operatingsystemrelease {} I''m puzzled as to why can''t I just use $operatingsystemrelease, and what do these two semicolons mean?

Hi, I am trying to use Hiera in puppet 3 and I have two nodes that both need the same configuration. In this case they are two web servers which have the same apache configuration. Rather than creating two seperate hiera files for node1.yaml and node2.yaml is there a way to group these by role (e.g. webserver.yaml)? I want to avoid duplicating the configuration if possible and keep the data

G''day. I am wondering what the current best practice for building a single file out of distributed fragments is with puppet. Specifically, my problem: 1. Install munin-node on arbitrary machines. 2. Install ''munin.conf'' as a single file on one machine, containing a configuration stanza for every machine that munin-node is installed on. The current best practice
