<h1>8. Quickstart<a class="headerlink" href="#quickstart" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|
<p>This tutorial is aimed at people learning cdist and shows
|
|
typical approaches as well as gives an easy start into
|
|
the world of configuration management.</p>
|
|
<p>For those who just want to configure a system with the
|
|
cdist configuration management and do not need (or want)
|
|
to understand everything.</p>
|
|
<p>This tutorial assumes you are configuring <strong>localhost</strong>, because
|
|
it is always available. Just replace <strong>localhost</strong> with your target
|
|
host for real life usage.</p>
|
|
<p>Cdist uses <strong>ssh</strong> for communication and transportation
|
|
and usually logs into the <strong>target host</strong> as the
|
|
<strong>root</strong> user. So you need to configure the <strong>ssh server</strong>
|
|
of the target host to allow root logins: Edit
|
|
the file <strong>/etc/ssh/sshd_config</strong> and add one of the following
|
|
lines:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># Allow login only via public key</span>
|
|
<span class="n">PermitRootLogin</span> <span class="n">without</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">password</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="c1"># Allow login via password and public key</span>
|
|
<span class="n">PermitRootLogin</span> <span class="n">yes</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>As cdist uses ssh intensively, it is recommended to setup authentication
|
|
with public keys:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># Generate pubkey pair as a normal user</span>
|
|
<span class="n">ssh</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">keygen</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="c1"># Copy pubkey over to target host</span>
|
|
<span class="n">ssh</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">copy</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="nb">id</span> <span class="n">root</span><span class="nd">@localhost</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Have a look at ssh-agent(1) and ssh-add(1) on how to cache the password for
|
|
your public key. Usually it looks like this:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span># Start agent and export variables
|
|
eval `ssh-agent`
|
|
|
|
# Add keys (requires password for every identity file)
|
|
ssh-add
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>At this point you should be able to <strong>ssh root@localhost</strong> without
|
|
re-entering the password. If something failed until here, ensure that
|
|
all steps went successfully and you have read and understood the
|
|
documentation.</p>
|
|
<p>As soon as you are able to login without password to localhost,
|
|
we can use cdist to configure it. You can copy and paste the following
|
|
code into your shell to get started and configure localhost:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># Get cdist</span>
|
|
<span class="c1"># Mirrors can be found on</span>
|
|
<span class="c1"># http://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/cdist/install/#index2h4</span>
|
|
<span class="n">git</span> <span class="n">clone</span> <span class="n">git</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="o">//</span><span class="n">git</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">schottelius</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">cdist</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="c1"># Create manifest (maps configuration to host(s)</span>
|
|
<span class="n">cd</span> <span class="n">cdist</span>
|
|
<span class="n">echo</span> <span class="s1">'__file /etc/cdist-configured'</span> <span class="o">></span> <span class="n">cdist</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">conf</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">manifest</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">init</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="c1"># Configure localhost in verbose mode</span>
|
|
<span class="o">./</span><span class="nb">bin</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">cdist</span> <span class="n">config</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">v</span> <span class="n">localhost</span>
|
|
|
|
<span class="c1"># Find out that cdist created /etc/cdist-configured</span>
|
|
<span class="n">ls</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">l</span> <span class="o">/</span><span class="n">etc</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">cdist</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">configured</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Note: cdist/conf is configuration directory shipped with cdist distribution.
|
|
If exists, ~/.cdist, is also automatically used as cdist configuration
|
|
directory. So in the above example you could create ~/.cdist directory,
|
|
then ~/.cdist/manifest sub-directory and create init manifest
|
|
~/.cdist/manifest/init.</p>
|
|
<p>That’s it, you’ve successfully used cdist to configure your first host!
|
|
Continue reading the next sections, to understand what you did and how
|
|
to create a more sophisticated configuration.</p>
