Hi Everyone, I am using Puppet 2.6.5 to configure fresh VMs. These VMs have their hostname set to localhost.localdomain initially at boot-time. There is this script file that runs in rc.local and this is what I do inside it 1. I change the hostname from localhost to xxx.xxxxxx using the hostname command. 2. start the puppet agent as /usr/sbin/puppetd --certname=xxx.xxxxxx

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7600 I call this the "agent orange" option :) This works, purging all unmanaged hosts entries: resources { ''host'': purge => true, noop => true, } We should have a similar property for all (most?) types. Please comment on the ticket or reply here, whichever you prefer. Thanks! r P.S. This is in

If I have a "simple" variable value, this works fine: capmon@peter:~> puppet -e ''$v="xyz" exec { f: command => "/bin/echo v is $v", logoutput => true }'' notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[f]/returns: v is xyz notice: /Stage[main]//Exec[f]/returns: executed successfully But how do I escape "bad" values of $v? Painful examples like the

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()

Hi, I''m trying to write a recipe to install the latest libstdc++ in both 32bit and 64bit flavors and running into issues. Yum only wants to install the 64bit version if I do: yum install libstdc++ If I do something like: package { "libstdc++.i386" : ensure => latest } It tells me "nothing to do" Any suggestions on the right way to do this? Thanks! Alan --

We''ve only recently discovered that puppet can manage mount points using the mount directive; however, a short while back we built an nfs client and server classes without using this resource, and we''ve encountered a problem where puppet seems to hang when the nfs server is unavailable. Using --debug doesn''t seem to specify exactly at which point the run is failing,

Hi, I''m currently trying to write a module to manage Squid, including the SSL certificates it uses. Sometimes you want Squid to listen on multiple IPs with multiple certificates, so I''m trying to get Puppet to push the certificates to the nodes and configure Squid accordingly. I''ve run into a problem with the idea of pushing multiple certificates though. The module has

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

Hi, I need to define the hostclass with special character for ex: "swift::proxy-ring" I have tried following ways but not worked: 1) hostclass :swift::proxy-ring do 2) hostclass ''swift::proxy-ring'' do 3) hostclass "swift::proxy-ring" do When I am using the 2 and 3 options it is giving following erroe: undefined method `[]'' for Class:Class at

Hello Puppeteers, please consider the following scenario: Puppet is supposed to set up similar (but not necessarily identical) groups of hosts for a range of customers. For each customer a dedicated filesystem tree needs to be established on host A. This should not be difficult using exported File resources, however: How do I make sure that only the exported File resource of the first created

This is more of a style question than implementation. I have a bunch of nodes running the same software but in many cases they need config files that are customized for that specific node. I was thinking I could push all the main files from the app through a central class and have separate classes for each individual node that has the config files. Is this the best way to do this or does it

CentOS 5.3 w/ updates Puppet 0.25.1.rc2 (installed from source) Mongrel + Nginx Am I making a mistake or is this a bug? I''ve experienced this issue using 0.24.8 from EPEL also.

We have a policy that requires all user passwords to expire after 90 days. We also use puppet for managing all users on our machines. Our hope was, when our passwords expire, we could update the puppet manifest which would propogate to all our servers, thus updating all our passwords. The problem is, the User type (w/ manage_passwords enabled and ruby- shadow installed) will only set the

Hi Folks, I am fairly new to using Puppet, but am trying to use it to control production servers running: - CentOS 5.5 - Puppet 2.6.3 - Yum 3.2.22 We would like to specify that certain versions of packages be loaded on a system. Our requirement is to have fixed versions of all critical packages upon which our applications depend. We do not want any surprises due to unplanned updates to the

Hello, I''m currently running Puppet 0.25.5-1 on CentOS 5.5. Everything has been going swimmingly until a couple of weeks ago, when I began receiving errors on one of my nodes. The node in question is also my puppetmaster, but the errors seem client-related. The errors are: err: //yumrepos::centosbase/Yumrepo[addons]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: A section with name

We have an existing "management system" of sorts, based on rdist. I''d like to know the best way to migrate it to using puppet. Currently, we have a local binaries tree, rdisted out nightly. We also make use of rdist''s extra capability to trigger scripts when and if named files are updated. I''m not sure what the best method would be, of converting this to
