similar to: Foreman and Puppet managing templates question

Hello, I try config puppet with foreman frontend. Into puppetmasterd I create modules "test" and create init.pp: # Create "/tmp/testfile" if it doesn''t exist. class test_class { file { "/tmp/testfile": ensure => present, mode => 644, owner => root, group => root } } Configure nodes in site.pp and import

I''ve begun using Hiera in combination with Foreman, primarily storing data that is best left in Array/Hash form. I''d like to be able to have a module, in this case BackupPC, query all the Hiera data for each node where the backup directories/databases are stored. Then use all that information on the BackupPC server to generate proper configuration files for each

I''m having some issues applying a default set of modules to all of my nodes managed by Foreman. I have around 20 nodes split among 4 environments. I have a node {default...} stanza in site.pp, but due to the way puppet handles ENCs, nothing from this is applied to my nodes. I have looked at host groups in Foreman, but they don''t seem to do what I want, since they are applied

Hey all, I''ve been messing around with the hiera-foreman backend to see if it would let me migrate to hiera and use foreman and an ENC. https://github.com/torrancew/hiera-foreman It works by querying each node''s yaml file from foreman. Currently this code works when called from the hiera command line with the -m (mcollective option). It uses the mcollective facts to pull

Dear puppetteers, I am having a philosophical question about parametrized classes. When building modules, one wants to be as flexible as possible, to try to target as many puppet flavors as possible. This is our target: - Foreman users, using foreman as an ENC with smart variables (or potentially any other ENC, but I would say this is the most widespread one). - Pure Puppet''s site.pp

Hi, I created a centOS6 EC2 instance last night and ran the foreman puppet module but it came back with a few years. Was hoping somebody could help me understand these errors. [root@ip-10-170-77-129 config]# echo include foreman | puppet --modulepath /root/puppet-foreman/ err: /Stage[main]/Foreman::Config::Enc/File[/var/lib/puppet/yaml/foreman]/ensure: change from absent to directory failed:

I''ve been using PuppetDB as an ENC for a while, but I haven''t really utilized it for stored configs or anything. I was mostly interested in replacing Dashboard''s reporting capabilities, but PuppetDB doesn''t yet do anything (that I can see) with reports. So I''m currently looking into setting up a separate Foreman server. I saw the script mentioned

Greetings: Sorry for cross-posting this question, but I haven''t gotten any love over on the Google Forum for Foreman users<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/foreman-users> (their forum isn''t as active as this one). I only recently learned about The Foreman and I''d like to deploy it on a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS workstation to provision/manage a bunch of

Hi All, I get a error message stating that Could not send report: Error 400 on server: Could not autoload foreman: Function foreman already defined.

Hi all, Thanks for all your suggestions. Here's where I'm at with this. Can you give details about your puppetmasterd setup ? it seems that > you're using Foreman as puppet ENC. > Yes, I'm on foreman 1.7.4 and puppet 3.75. You are correct that I'm using foreman, sorry I hadn't thought to mention it! > Foreman works fine with selinux enabled : that's what

What are the best practices for achieving a maximally redundant and scalable environment? What are you doing? We''re rolling out Puppet with Foreman, mysql, Passenger, on a RHEL6 VMWare box. Configs are stored in SVN and Jenkins. Right now we''ve got those first four things running on the same single server but for production we always want replication whenever possible. --

Hello, I have number of classes that deal with user management and I''ve run into a snag with needing to extend/modify either the user or group types. I''m using theforeman as an ENC. The class structure I have is something like the following. users::common users::dev users::prod etc... users::{dev, prod} do not use inheritance. Almost all node include users::common.

Hi All, I have installed ssh module by command: puppet module install saz/ssh and it''s configured for production server . But I am not able to configure sshd_config file for each host separately . How can I define specific source file for specific host using foreman Thanks in Advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

I have no idea of the current dependency problem. I think your original problem was caused by mv'ing files from an nfs share to /etc which maintained the context. And SELinux prevented puppet from accessing nfs_t type. If you had just run restorecon on the object it would have set it back to the correct/default context. You might want to setup an alias mv "mv -Z" This changes

Hi, I have a Puppet Enterprise (2.0) puppetmaster running with Foreman, and having trouble getting it working as an External Node Classifier. In short, if I manually add a test client into site.pp, it will retrieve the proper catalog / classes, but I would like to avoid having to do that. I''m also using environments (production/testing/ development) as well, but think I have most of

Dear all I am trying to set up reports in foreman, but foreman tells me to configure it. What am I doing wrong?

Hello All, So I finally got around to start to cut over node definitions from standard flat files to external nodes (foreman), and getting error message: "Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find node ''nodename''; cannot compile" - So basically it can''t pick up the node from the external node config. When I test the fetching of the yaml file it seems to work

Hello Everyone, I''m still pretty new with puppet so please bare with me. I tried searching and I''m pretty sure I''ve ready my answer but I''m not sure if I''m going down the right path just yet. My scenario is this: I have 4 environments, Dev, Test, QA, Prod. Each of these environments lives in 2 sites, LA and NY. I have 5 applications that are site and
