Hi, I''ve just finished James Turnbull book "Pulling Strings With Puppet" - which definitely an excellent introduction to Puppet, and I was wondering - as the book is a couple years old, what was the status of the all mongrel/webrick situation ? I guess it''s still recommended to use Mongrel rather than Webrick for puppetmaster, at least for 0.25.5 (which I''m

Hi, I''m using Amazon EC2 and I''m planning to use puppet to deploy automatically my instances, however, I have an issue I can''t rely think through. As most people advised, I used a DNS server (bind to be precise) so that my instances can register to it but also ask this DNS Server the IP of the puppetmaster. However, as this DNS server is also running on Amazon EC2

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. Those applications are right now deployed and set up by puppet. I wonder if I should use puppet to redeploy those applications after each commit, and if I should how trigger, on the puppet, a full redeployement of the application ? --

Hi I've recently released the daemontools scripts I use to run both Asterisk and Flash Operator Panel, and a macro to tell whether today is a holiday or not and jump to different dialplan places accordingly. They are here: daemontools scripts: http://www.bisente.com/blog/2007/04/27/spanish-asterisk-y-daemontools-spanishenglish-asterisk-and-daemontools-english/?lan=english is-holiday macro:

Hello, Using Puppet 2.7(.20), I''m trying to override the "restart" command of a service controlled by daemontools provider using: service { ''bamboo-agent'': hasrestart => false, provider => ''daemontools'', restart => ''/bin/touch /var/run/needs-restart'', ... } And ... notify =>

Hello all, I have dovecot running under daemontools and I can't see dovecot-lda in action when I read the logs. I've set the logs to /dev/stderr because daemontools redirects /dev/stderr to /var/log/dovecot/current. The dovecot server works fine and I know that dovecot-lda is actually doing the delivery, because the sieve facility is working as well. I can get lda log working -but

Hi there I'm having difficulties in getting dovecot to run under daemontools. Also, from a sysadmin perspective, so far, I find dovecot's config rather complex - I suppose that's what happens when one attempts to appease all authentication methods... anyway, I digress. System details, to set the scene: OS: Slackware Linux Linux Kernel: 2.4.29 GCC: 3.2.2 Dovecot version: 1.0.rc6

Hi, I just started running RC2 on Thursday. I migrated an old Courier IMAP server, and the only issue I had was that I didn't understand how to enable quotas :) It's impressively fast, and I'm quite happy with it so far. This morning I found that dovecot had crashed, I had exceeded FreeBSD's kern.maxpipekva Has anyone successfully run dovecot under daemontools? I got it to

Hi all, I want to start dovecot through DJBs Daemontools-supervise, is there a configuration option that lets dovecot stay in foreground? best regards, Jens

Hello, I'm trying to run smbd with djb daemontools' supervise. Here's the way I followed: # 2/6/2002 # problem running samba-2.2.4 and supervise problem: run smbd with supervise subproblem 1: smbd & nnmbd with -D option deteach from tty, so supervise cannot control them; solution 1: we can patch smb/server.c (foreground patch) to prevent deteach, but a second

Hi all, I am trying to use samba with daemontools. (and it's brother runit: http://smarden.org/runit/). I do not want to talk much about runit itself. The main point is that samba *must* run in foreground mode (no fork, no detach from terminal). It is fine up to this point. I found an option '-F' and if I start with smbd -F It will run in foreground so it's OK. But I want to

Hi - I tried to get Daemontools and Unicorn working together a while back - there are issues on USR2 restart because of the pid change - I''m hoping someone in the community will have some understanding of this issue I documented my experience and eventual defeat here : http://log.robotarmyma.de/post/2053448029/daemontools-ubuntu-rvm-bundler-unicorn-install Any help would be received

I''ve been going round in circles a little bit in the last few days trying to figure out how to get a 64-bit CentOS-based puppetmaster that can be managed/provisioned via puppet also - so I''d like ruby, passenger, rails etc coming from RPMs and yum. As far as I can see, the three choices are: 1) Puppetlabs prosvc repo, which specifically says it can go away at any time 2)

I am using Puppet 2.7.2 with ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) and 64 bit Ubuntu 10.4. I have a Vagrant environment which I have been using for development. In the vagrant environment about 5 minutes is required to run all of the modules used for the configuration I have been developing. When I run exactly the same modules in AWS several hours are required. The Vagrant VM has 1 CPU and 1 GB

Hello We actually use MBOX format on our mailhub but this does not permit to create IMAP subfolders. Many users are asking me fot this feature and I agree with them of course. My problem is to choose the format that will permit imap subfolders creation. Maildir is not my favorite format and I wonder about MDBOX. Does it permit imap subfolders creation ? It is possible to convert from MBOX to

Hi. In my setup exim delivers mails to dovecot using LMTP. In one LMTP session exim can deliver up to 200 recipients (batch_max set to that value). Now the problem is that sometimes 256MB is not enoug for dovecot lmtp to handle incoming emails. My questions: - how big memory limit should be for lmtp? I was thinking that lmtp (more or less) simply reads from one descriptor and writes to file,
