I want to use Puppet and Facter on a machine where I don''t have sudo or root access privileges. I won''t be using Puppet for anything that requires that level of access, so I should be OK if I can get it on the box. Any advice on how to proceed? Currently the Facter installer complains that it doesn''t have privileges for /usr/bin/facter. I assume Puppet will have the same

I''ve seen a couple of examples of using puppet to control services where you can''t run a puppet agent on the resource. As far as I can tell they work by having puppet proxy through some external-service control mechanism, such as fog. The question is: where does the proxy run? I assume a puppet agent needs to run somewhere. Where do you put that agent, how do you configure it,

Hi, I am writing scripts for deployment of our software and I am also using MCollective on linux. I hope to use MCollective in order to reduce the requirement of opening a putty session to each VM and running the puppet agent manually the first time (when its registers/ creates keys etc).

Hi All, I have a working installation of a Puppet Master (CA) with Puppet agents, this using The Foreman. I really see the usage of Puppet this way but because The Foreman supports pushing your classes/templates to you nodes (agents) and uses the depricated Run/Kick for it I''m looking into Mcollective. Mcollective is supported by The Foreman since 1.2, the version I''m

Im new to puppet and installed it in my home lab to mess with, when i installed it i used the hostname rather than FQDN so went back and changed puppet and reran the certificate tool to regenerate the certificates etc, the agent works fine now but i am getting an mccollective error i think, is there anything in the config i need to change for mccollective after altering the name to the FQDN?

I am running puppet 2.7.14 - CentOS 6 server, CentOS and windows 2008 R2 clients. I''m having problems with the "puppet kick" command - it works on linux clients, and on my windows box when "puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose" is run from a command prompt.

HI, i''m currently trying to develop a task-driven rails-based frontend for some tasks that puppet/mcollective is doing in the background ( basically some user-management and some asset queries...). But i''m currently stuck at finding some puppet/mcollective API classes for ruby. (you''ll only find results for using ruby within puppet, which is of course more obvious).

If I want to run Puppet agent only on two nodes out of ten, how can I specify this with the Host Filters?

Hi, I have looked all over the place and can''t seem to find a complete answer to my query I am setting up MCollective to run alongside my puppet deployment and am having some problems getting it to play as I want it to Basically, I need to make sure that puppet NEVER makes any changes without them being triggered by someone (I honestly can''t see how anyone would ever want

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 List, I would like to discuss with whoever is interested one topic that I suppose has general interest. I want to implement some kind of automatic testing on the status of a node after a Puppet Run. These tests involve trivial and less trivial things things like: - A local service is running - A local port is open - A remote server on a remote port is reachable by the node - An URL replies
