Hi, My organization is going to set up puppet soon. We have thousands servers and desktops. Would WEBrick work well for this? Or should we use Passenger?

Hi, Can puppet autosign work by giving vlan IP instead of domain? For example, in the autosign.conf file, instead of using *.mydomain.org, I want to give 172.18.133.* But it does not seem to work if I give the IP address. But I don''t want to limit the client from *.mydomain.org by only allow certain vlan client not all the are in the same domain. Thanks, -Haiyan -- You received this

I''ve just posted a feature request <http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8120> relating to FIPS 140-2 compliance. I''m pointing to it here on the mailing list because I listed there five places where Puppet (nay, Ruby!) crashed while I was testing a deployment using FIPS mode on all hosts. It crashed because it tried to use MD5, and OpenSSL in FIPS mode doesn''t let

I would like to delegate access to puppet to other teams in our company. It has to be possible for them to: - create new recipes - doing some sort of check if their recipes / templates work. How should I do this without giving other teams the ability to create havoc? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this

Hello, I am a bit confused by the REST syntax - how can I PUT an arbitrary file in the bucket? Downloading works fine (Perl+LWP), see below, but for PUT I only see this line in the docs (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_api.html): PUT /{environment}/file_bucket_file/md5/{checksum} Should I compute the MD5 of the file and port its contents at the url ? my code: my $ua =

I''m installing puppet from git per instructions in another thread. The instructions given at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/installation.html for installing puppet from source lead to it dumping things all over my Ruby, which I really wasn''t expecting and doesn''t work well with our environment. (1) How do I uninstall it? (2) How do I turn the git source into a gem?

I have a mostly working set of modules to replace our kickstart and about a dozen scripts. I am having issues with attempting to populate my AD account-owned user folders in the initial puppet run. The machines i am testing with are all CentOS 5.5 so far. I have defined 3 additional stages, Stage [init] -> Stage [pre] -> Stage [main] -> Stage [post] to attempt to fix this to no avail.

Hi All, In my set-up, I''ve got a cron job that triggers a Puppet run every 20 minutes. I''ve found that on approximately 13 nodes (out of 166), puppetd just hangs. I have to go in, kill the process, remove /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock, and run puppet again and then it''s fine. After a while, it just hangs again so I have to go in, kill the process, etc. Any ideas?

Hello. First post. I have been messing around with puppet on AIX a bit recently and have all kinds of questions about how puppet integrates with AIX, specifically regarding how the "service" and "package" resources work with AIX''s native commands (installp/lssrc/etc). Some searches of this group didn''t yield much info on AIX. Is there a better forum out

I have a couple of applications (backup, Cacti, Asset Tracking) where I want a node to have some package and config installed, and once that is done, some config to be done on another system to register the client with a central server. Is there a standard way to do this, short of having some kind of web service accessible from all the client systems? From my limited Puppet knowledge, anything I

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

I might have the terminology wrong, but how to a give new puppet providers to the puppet clients? I''m thinking a provider is the thing the puppet client uses to implement a task that the master has given it. Am I way off here?

Hello, We''re trying to come up with a nice way to indicate when a Puppet module like cloud provisioner breaks a Puppet subcommand because of missing dependencies. When this happens in the current 3.0rc branch, all help for all subcommands is unavailable. This isn''t very helpful. We''re planning to simply mark the subcommands that have incomplete actions as

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
