cdist (=opposite to ccollect)
|
||||
aka puppet don right
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
cdist configures your system. It is similar to
|
||||
[cfengine](http://www.cfengine.org/) and [puppet](http://www.puppetlabs.com/).
|
||||
It is inspired by both of those tools:
|
||||
|
||||
* Try to redo the great power you get
|
||||
* But leave out the bugs you also got
|
||||
|
||||
### Principles
|
||||
|
||||
cdist is more
|
||||
|
||||
- reuse of unix, no need for perl^Wruby
|
||||
- shell

|

### Unsupported stuff?
|
||||
|
||||
A configuration deployment assistant,
|
||||
a DSL that allows you define the objectives.
|
||||
A webserver with fileserver capabilities.
|
||||
A client based scheduled polling infrastructure.

## What do I need [from puppet?]
|
||||
|
||||
### Abstraction of package managers
|
||||
|
||||
I don't want to care about apt, rpm, yum, pacman, etc. I just
|
||||
want to ensure, some package exists or does not exist.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Common tasks already done
|
||||
|
||||
- handling of package managers
|
||||
- Modules: Nice to put stuff together
|
||||
- and reuse
|
||||
- [LIBRARY] All the helper types like
|
||||
- file
|
||||
- ssh_keys
|
||||
- package
|
||||
- service
|
||||
- user
|
||||
- [CONDITIONS] facter is cool
|
||||
|
||||
### PORTABILITY
|
||||
- [PORTABILITY] clients for every unix
|
||||
- mostly ruby + facter in puppet
|
||||
|
||||
- Modules: Nice to put stuff together
|
||||
- and reuse
|
||||
- [CONDITIONS] facter is cool
|
||||
- the DSL
|
||||
- with many bugs
|
||||
- templates
