cdist(7) ======== Nico Schottelius NAME ---- cdist - Configuration management system DESCRIPTION ----------- Cdist allows you to centrally define a configurations for 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-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).
