How to clone alfresco on puppet agents?

[lalit jangra]

Hi,

I have alfresco installed on my puppet master & try to clone it using puppet console to puppet agent nodes but under 'live management' link, i can not see any of package/group/user/host resources named similar to alfresco even though i can see postgres package resource but no java/alfresco/tomcat resource?

Can anyone let me know how to clone the same?

Regards.

Hello, 

In the future, you may want to pose questions like this to the PE-Users list as live management is a Puppet Enterprise feature. There are likely more people on that list who can directly help with those kinds of questions.

On the machine alfresco is installed on, can you inspect the current state of the package your're looking for with `puppet resource package package-name`? If you don't know it, you can ask for the state of all packages on the system and pipe it through grep like `puppet resource package | grep foo`. You can replace package with user, group or whatever else you're looking for.

Hopefully that gets you to the point where you're absolutely sure what the title is of the resource you want to manage. Try taking that to live management and see if it's just a matter of having the name wrong.

HTH,

I don't think Alfresco is shipped as a formal OS package. It's just a
tarball with an installer script last time I looked, I remember some
third-party efforts back in the 2.x days but nothing formal from the
company itself (at least not when I worked on Alfresco). Live
management only deals with proper OS packages, like RPM's and Deb's.

I would double check Alfresco is an actual package ....

Thanks,

Indeed alfresco can not be told as a package as it contains a number of installations in a tar ball or .bin file.

Also i could not find any package named alfresco using puppet resource package | grep alfresco command.

So do i have to create my own custom puppet scripts? If so, can anybody help?

Regards.

At the least, you'll probably want to deploy and extract your tar ball. NanLiu/Staging on the Puppet Forge can help you do this. Here's a link: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/nanliu/staging
