DESCRIPTION
@ -15,28 +15,27 @@ UNIX systems and apply them. Cdist generally uses the push
approach (a server pushes out the configuration to the clients),
but can also be used the pull way (see cdist-push-pull(7)).
Cdist is configured in shell syntax, which is "compiled" to an
internal configuration representation (cdist-cconfig(7)), which again
is used to generate an executable, which is run on the client
(see cdist-language(7), cdist-design(7)).
Cdist-deploy-to(1) is the main command to be used to deploy
configurations to a host.
To get your fingers dirty with cdist very quick, have
a look at cdist-quickstart(7).
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)).
REQUIREMENTS
------------
Cdist requires enabled ssh-server and a posix shell on the clients and
ssh-client and posix shell on the server. Additionaly, it requires
the following unix tools:
- find
-
The fastest way to get a host configured using cdist is probably
cdist-quickstart(7).
