Hi, I want to introduce "Proxmox" as new value in $::operatingsystem. "Proxmox" is based on Debian, so the normal value is currently "Debian". To change that, I just write a custom fact based on the facter fact "operatingsystem" Facter.add(:operatingsystem) do > ... > setcode do > ... > elsif

Hello guys :), I''m kind of new to Puppet and stuck in defining a conditional statement. Here my problem: I want to provide different apt/source.list for different versions of Debian, 6.0.x and 7.0.x, which also run different versions of Puppet, 2.7.x and 3.2.x.

Hi, I''m using PuppetDB with builtin backend, haven''t switched yet to postgresql, and I''m starting to see decrease in performance of my agent runs. I use PuppetDB solely because of exported resources support. How soon should I think about moving to PostgreSQL?

Hi, I''m trying to program custom type for managing Couchbase buckets. Problem is that every RW operation to Couchbase cluster (creating, deleting, resizing bucket) requires admin privileges (username/password). Do you have any suggestion how should I pass the username/password to provider? If I make it a param, then every resource of type ''couchbucket'' will need to

Hi! I am using mainly Samba 3.5 on CentOS, and I was very pleased with idmap_rid backend for SID-to-RID mappings. But on Solaris 10, I can only use 3.6 because OpenCSW ships only 3.6. Problem is, things are changed and are not working as expected... Here is my config on RHEL Samba 3.5: [global] workgroup = WINDOMAIN realm = WINDOMAIN.LOCAL server string = localserver

Hi. I can see that this is a long long standing issue... Apparently things changed in Windows 2008 R2, and after upgrade of domain from R1 to R2 cifs mounts don't work anymore between Linux servers.

Hi... I''ve been trying to set up boolean values in Hiera, but with no luck. For example, I''m using puppetlabs-haproxy module, and this is a code snippet: class haproxy ( $manage_service = true, ... ) inherits haproxy::params { ... if $manage_service { } } Now, this is how I set up values in hiera: haproxy::manage_service: false But, it seems that

Hi. I have an interesting use case. OSSEC is security tool based on server-client architecture. Server generates keys for agents, and every agent has different key. Now I want to distribute these keys via puppet. I''ve come accross hiera and installed it, and it works superbly, but how to store per-node key in hiera? This is my idea: hiera,yaml: --- :hierarchy: -

Hi. I''ve been trying to develop a module for managing Cobbler from puppet. So, I need a custom type - cobblerdistro, which will fetch ISO from http, unpack it at desired destination and register distro with Cobbler. I have one issue with ensure => absent situation.

Hi guys, I've joined CentOS 7 successfully to AD as member server, and set couple of shares. But, limiting access by listing groups, or forcing group write isn't working. Samba is clearly having issues with groups. This is example share not working at all (constantly asking for authentication): [tools] path = /data/tools/ comment = Web development

Hi. I''m using Xen on RHEL cluster, and I have strange problems. I gave raw volumes from storage to Xen virtual machines. With windows, I have a problem that nodes don''t see the volume as same one.... for example: clusternode1# clusvcadm -d vm:winxp clusternode1# dd if=/dev/mapper/winxp of=/node1winxp clusternode2# dd if=/dev/mapper/winxp of=/node2winxp clusternode3# dd

It seems that puppet uses ''yum'' for installation on CentOS and ''rpm -e'' for removal of packages, so it cannot handle this kind of dependencies:

I am trying to write a define type which will use an array but in the meantime have an argument pass to it that sets a case. See for example : define link_files ($linkcase) { case $linkcase { "var" : { file { "${name}_exelink" : path => "/var/log/puppet/${name}_log", ensure => link,

Hi all, I''m looking at changing the operatingsystemrelease fact for Red Hat. Linux currently just uses the kernel release as the operating system release, but I''ve got a client who wants the release to have both the specific distro (e.g., AS or EL) and the release (e.g., 3 or 4). Will this particularly annoy anyone? Anyone want to help make the release string work on
