Generate Puppet manifiest from server

[Salvador González González]

  Hello,
 
     Anyone knows if there is any possibility to generate a puppet manifiest from a server to use it as a template to other servers?.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

On the puppet27 Cookbook they talked about the cft tool (but I think
it has been deprecated)

More info can be found on this webpage:
http://fmtyewtk.blogspot.com.es/2011/01/porting-cft-to-debian.html

And on this gitorious.org repo:
https://gitorious.org/cft-debian/cft-debian/source/dd19c6e9f02ebdb58397fee1af96e4cfc4b0a5a8:README

"
This tool (cft, pronounced 'sift') follows a sysadmin as she makes changes
to the system. Its basic workings are inspired by Gnome's sabayon, a tool
that watches a user make configuration changes to their desktop and
collects them into a reusable bundle. Instead of the desktop though, cft is
focused on traditional system admins and how they maintain machines, mostly
with command line tools. Cft uses puppet[2] as its backbone for expressing
the configuration of a system, and for understanding in greater detail what
changes the admin has made to the system.
"

Hope it helps

Best regards

Take a look at BluePrint <http://devstructure.com/blueprint/>

IMO there's no sane way to do this automatically. What would it do, put every file on the system into a module? The code certainly wouldn't be properly modularized and parameterized, and would be a maintenance nightmare.
