|
|||
|
|
The easiest way to get started with cdist is to initialise
|
|||
|
|
the environment and run cdist-quickstart:</p><pre class="screen">eval `./bin/cdist-env` && cdist-quickstart</pre><p>Cdist configurations are written in the shell scripting language.
|
|||
|
|
The mapping of configurations to hosts is defined in so called manifests,
|
|||
|
|
logical units of functionality are called "types" in cdist jargon.
|
|||
|
|
Cdist ships with some types included. You can use or change them, create new
|
|||
|
|
ones or even submit your types for inclusion into cdist.</p><p>The main command is cdist-deploy-to, which runs several stages to push
|
|||
|
|
configurations to a host. If you want to deeply understand cdist, reading
|
|||
|
|
the source of cdist-deploy-to is recommended.
|
|||
|
|
Cdist currently uses the push approach (a server pushes out the
|
|||
|
|
configuration to the clients), but future version will also support the
|
|||
|
|
pull mechanism (client requests configuration).</p></div><div class="section" title="3. SEE ALSO"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_see_also"></a>3.
