DESCRIPTION

|
|
Cdist allows you to centrally define a configurations for
|
|
|
|
|
UNIX systems and apply them. Cdist generally uses the push
|
2010-09-30 20:00:03 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
cdist-quickstart(7).
