Package: util-vserver
Version: 0.30.216~r2772-6
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/vapt-get
Tags: patch
When using vapt-get to update multiple vservers, admistrators have two
options: either use --all to apply the command to all servers, or specify
vservers manually.
With a larger number of heterogeneous vservers, this gets uncomfortable;
while most of the systems may need updates, several system might not even run
debian or should be excluded from the procedure for other reasons, e.g. if the
root user of the vserver takes care of updates himself.
The attached patch included a --mark option that allows to limit the vapt-get
operation to hosts tagged with a keyword in /etc/vserver/$SERVER/apps/apt/mark
Using that file, instances you wish to use vapt-get on can be tagged with a
special
tag:
TAG=debian
for SERVER in foo bar baz; do
mkdir -p /etc/vserver/$SERVER/apps/apt/
echo $TAG > /etc/vserver/$SERVER/apps/apt/mark
done
after tagging the hosts, vapt-get can be called with a simple command line:
vapt-get --mark debian -- -u upgrade
This command will run the upgrade procedure on all hosts tagged "debian" (foo,
bar and baz in this example)
