ClearFoundation

So today I was reading over spacewalk.redhat.com/ and I thought to myself how awesome would this be to implement into clearsdn to manage updates over several clearos systems and manage conf files over several boxes.

Presently I have Two boxes now in other countries which I am admining and from an MSP style perspective it could be useful for admins who have stack of systems to look after

Food for thought

I got to use a friends deployment serer which is running a combination of puppet and spacewalk on centos

So I am sure it will run on clearos

When I get some time over of the xmas break I might have a crack at getting it working, the whole oracle 10g db side of it looks a but daunting

Anyone interested have a read over this
wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk

Nice post. This looks interesting.

For the windows folk its basically WSUS for RHEL / Centos

I know this thread is pretty stale...but just fyi:

You do not need to use Oracle to setup and use Spacewalk.

On the other hand, I use Cobbler and puppet to do the same. Thinking on making a puppet install/configure script.

Thread revival time....

So I ended up building one the other day, on centos 6 with postgre I have to say.... its awesome. The client installed on 6.3 pro without any problems.

Currently building up the channels for it now.

Presently I am thinking I might use the kick start side of it for deployment so I can provision xen clear guests and control my patching which should be nice.

I have looked at puppetlabs but the cost puts me off somewhat.

Followed these two guides
