Anyone using puppet?

Anyone using Puppet (http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/)to configure DirectAdmin?

If so do you have a Recipe?

Eh, ruby. I used to use it. Ill try and find my old stuff that I used.

Ruby? It's based upon ruby but Puppet has it's own language.

I know, but ruby brings a bad taste to my mouth. Its core platform is built off the ruby platform, and ruby, like any other fan of any other agile language, has a preference. I have had bad experiences with ruby. The community is what did it for me.

I was reading about puppet (in Linux Pro Magazine [Linux Magazine in the UK]), and it looks interesting.

So I'm hoping to read more in this thread as you progress :).

Already deployed it.. creating many recipes. Haven't gotten to directadmin... yet and suspect I will break it up into may small pieces. Already have things like clamav updates working... Just create a local yum repo and done. Updated in 1/2 hour on all servers. Obviously with this kinda of automation you must develop and test somewhere first. Or you can have all servers broken in a 1/2 hour. :-)

We've setup clamav to our specs and all servers now match it (ie having freshclam update hourly instead of daily) Since we add features on top of DirectAdmin I may be replacing some of DA's script installs with Puppet instead and make it to our liking.

Another system I have used that I preferred greatly over puppet is capistrano. It was much easier to deploy new servers. VMWare, Storagetek, and capistrano.
