								Cdist allows you to centrally define a configurations for
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								UNIX systems and apply them. Cdist generally uses the push
							 | 
						
					
						
							
								
									
										
										
										
											2010-09-30 22:00:03 +02:00
										 
									 
								 
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								approach (a server pushes out the configuration to the clients),
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								but can also be used the pull way (see cdist-push-pull(7)).

								Cdist-deploy-to(1) is the main command to be used to deploy
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								configurations to a host.

								The mapping of configurations to hosts is defined
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								in so called manifests, which are written in shell
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								script language (see cdist-manifest(7)).

								Logical units of files and directives are called "types" in cdist jargon
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								(see cdist-types(7)). Cdist ships with some types, which you can change
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								or create new ones or even submit your types for inclusion into mainstream
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								(see cdist-type-inclusion(7)).

								The fastest way to get a host configured using cdist is probably
