Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: how to start with cfengine Author: malte-elias Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,20864,20864#msg-20864
Hi, I want use a config file management for many gentoo systems and I want give cfengine 3 a chance. I read some documents [1] but I did not find any information about a minimal setup (i.e. 1 server and 2 clients). The quickstart "Howto" [2] is not very helpful too. I found only one good example under [3]. What I want: I want start with a really minimal cf3 setup and then i.e. create a file on both clients or change the content of this file on one of the both clients. If I have a working minimal setup I can play around the different options of cf3. After this I can expand this setup with i.e. with svn and other useful options. I need information about follow objects: - What must I install and how must I configure it on the server system? - What must I install and how must I configure it on the client systems? - What is the best way for the key exchange? - root access via ssh is not allowed on the clients. How can I i.e. add an user? Are there a good tutorials about this, what I want? Best regards, malte.
