cdist using the push principle (triggered by server)
cdist-design(7)
===============
Nico Schottelius <nico-cdist--@--schottelius.org>
NAME
----
cdist-design - Design ideas for cdist
DESCRIPTION
-----------
When using cdist with the push principle, the execution tree looks likes this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% server
cdist-deploy-to <client-hostname>
cdist-build
cdist-preprocess # fills up variables with content
cdist-explore % client # explores client configuration
cdist-compile # parses configuration, creates internal state in cconfig format, verifies
cdist-link # uses cconfig output, creates executable
cdist-remote-exec #
cdist-transfer # transfer executable to client
cdist-execute % client # execute resulting executable
cdist-deploy-to(1)
cdist-build(1)
cdist-preprocess(1) # fills up variables with content
cdist-explore(1) % client # explores client configuration
cdist-compile(1) # parses configuration, creates internal state in cconfig format, verifies
cdist-link(1) # uses cconfig output, creates executable
cdist-remote-exec(1) #
cdist-transfer(1) # transfer executable to client
cdist-execute(1) % client # execute resulting executable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operation on the server is run as "cdist" user.
Operation on the client is run as "root" user.
cdist using the pull principle (triggered by client)
When using cdist with the pull principle (configuration triggered by client):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% client
cdist-trigger <server-hostname> # connects to server
cdist-deploy-to <client-hostname> % server: see above
cdist-trigger(1) <server-hostname> # connects to server
cdist-deploy-to(1) <client-hostname> % server: see above
