similar to: Passing node hostname to the Puppet managed node

Anyone had any experience getting puppet to update multiple OS''s on a single server? For example, for a set of blades Network booting from a primary server, the OS for each blade would be stored on the primary server. For example: /pxe/host1/<normal OS directory structure> /pxe/host2/<normal OS directory structure> ..... /pxe/hostn/<normal OS directory structure> Can

Hi all, We''re writing a few scripts at the moment that could really make use of Facter, however the vast majority of them team (including my self!) are not proficient in Ruby, however they are highly proficient in other languages such as (dare I say it!) Python. Is there (or are there any plans to!) release bindings for other languages to enable facts to be used in scripts other

Hello All, I''m new to puppet, and I''d like to know: Is there a formal best practices guide for syncing { /etc/passwd, shadow, group, hosts} across clients from the master? For instance; is it a better practice to make a hard link to these files and share the link, as opposed to just sharing the files directly via a target in fileserver.conf? Inquiring minds want to know...

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

Hello All, Moving from 2.5 to 2.6.2 and I was wondering if there is a preferred directory structure for using multiple environments? Does it work much different in 2.6 than in 2.5? When I made the move I assumed (I know) that my current structure and configurations would just roll over but that isn''t the case. Thanks, Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Hi, I just added an external classifier script, and things are not working as I expected to. Trying to read documentation about ext.nodes and searching the archives I couldn''t come up with any useful results. My classifier script outputs: --- YAML --- classes: - geodns::production::backend environment: production name: z01-06-02 parameters: puppet_server:

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 ? --

G''day. We recently found some issues with the `links => follow` setting in recursive file copying; the designed behaviour is that it should allow you to determine if the master serves a symlink in a module as a symlink, or as the content of the file that the symlink points to. The full details are here: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12418 The short version is that toggling

G'day. I am wanting to find out how my SIP service is performing with Asterisk, especially jitter and dropped packets. I can get an overview of that using the 'rtcp stats' function at the console, but is there any way to get those logged to a file or some other permanent record? Nothing in logger.conf seems applicable, save perhaps directing verbose messages somewhere, but it

Hi, When I start puppetd on my client machine I get this message in /var/ log/messages: Parsing /etc/puppet/puppet.conf reopening log files could not request certificate; retrieved certificate does not match private key; Please remove certificate from server and regenerate it with current key Could not retrieve catalog from remote server Using cached catalog Could not retrieve catalog

Hi I have a requirement to generate several very similar config files which are just a couple of tokens different and with different names. These are barnyard conf files if anyone is interested and differ only in the interface name which is also part of the file name. I can include [eth1, eth2] in the manifest and I want to get files: barnyard.conf.eth1 ..... interface eth1

Hi, This is some short of technical question or might be my stupidity, please tell me so ;o) Ok, let's say I have an application which I would like to run in 640x480x32/fullscreen.

Is there any way to let wine start an X server on another shell with a different resolution, automatically switch

G'day. I am having reasonable success getting Asterisk 1.4.2 running and doing what I want, but I can't figure out one particular idiom that I want: There are a few situations where I want to have Asterisk push a call through to the first available transport on a list, such as: I have two SIP ports attached to one local (two port) analog phone system. I want to ring line 1 for the

So, my configuration attempts are aimed at Linodes . Ubuntu 10.10 to be exact. Linodes are libcloud enabled as well as basically provisioned. What I seek to do is add to that, not build from nothing, since libcloud et. al. give me a base to work with. What is the canonical way to manage this situation? For example: $ puppet resource package --verbose openssh-client package {

I have been looking at integrating the e2image tool into my nightly backup routines for my systems, to improve the odds that I can get data back if something disastrous happens to my file system. I have a couple of questions about this, though, to work out if this is actually worth doing. Is e2image worth running if the file system is online and in use, under the 2.6 series kernels, as part of
