I'm an unapologetic FreeBSD champion.
I started with Linux (slackware and a few other distros) back in the
2000 era, and was consistently frustrated with it, because very little
made sense to me. I happened to get a job with a small startup whose
product was based on FreeBSD, received only a few minutes tutoring in
it, and felt immediately at home, without clearly understanding why..
Years later I found this
(http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/01), which made
clear to me why I preferred FreeBSD.
But this is way off topic, so I'm going to stop here...

Quick breakdown, summarized from official docs here:
http://search.cpan.org/~oliver/App-Netdisco-2.008000/lib/App/Netdisco.pm
Get your base FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE the way you want it - sudo, shell of choice,
etc.
Install Perl5.20 from ports
Install Perl DBD:Pg from ports
Install Perl SNMP from ports
Create the netdisco user
Install PostgreSQL from ports, configure, start database server, create
netdisco database
Make sure PgSQL starts at boot up, add to /etc/rc.conf:
postgresql_enable="YES"
Change to the netdisco user
Install & configure, start Netdisco-daemon, start Netdisco-web
Log into web interface and enjoy!

Hi all,
This is a good discussion to have, it's helpful for the project to see
the different needs and opinions.
Personally I've shied away from encouraging any packaging of
App::Netdisco. There are various reasons, including support overhead for
the core team (even if others maintain the packages), but also that I
worry if we want to change the method of installation/upgrade radically
at some point, we could get stuck (see sf.net issue #21).
But perhaps most of all I prefer the ability we have to push point
releases relatively frequently, via CPAN, and have users execute a
painless upgrade. As can be seen from the changelog and issue tracker,
the stream of fixes and features might continue for some time yet, and
most OS packaging systems don't deal with this constant-updating very
well.
(I have no problem reassessing this opinion in the future, changing my
mind, or having others still have a go at packaging right now, of
course.)
Just my 2p.
regards,
oliver.

isn't going to fly.

Hi Sebastian,
On 2014-12-15 13:51, Sebastian Rösch wrote:
at first, thanks all the developers for their work on this lovely
piece of software. I now have two questions, that I couldn´t solve
myself.
Robert is exactly on the right track.
You're running the commands as root user. Please run them as "netdisco"
user and I'm sure things will begin to work.
regards,
oliver.
Question1:
I installed V2 and I´m really happy with it. Now I tried to upgrade
the installation to 2.029014, but I´m not able to complete the
netdisco-deploy procedure. It seems to be, that the netdisco uses the
default configuration file under
/home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5/auto/share/dist/App-Netdisco/environments.
And not that file under /home/netdisco/environments/
Where can I change the path to the correct deployment.yml?
Error:
#####################
This is the Netdisco II deployment script.
Before we continue, the following prerequisites must be in place:
* Database added to PostgreSQL for Netdisco
* User added to PostgreSQL with rights to the Netdisco Database
* "~/environments/deployment.yml" file configured with Database
dsn/user/pass
* A full backup of any existing Netdisco database data
* Internet access (for OUIs and MIBs)
You will be asked to confirm all changes to your system.
So, is all the above in place? [y/N]: y
Would you like to deploy or upgrade your database schema? [y/N]: y

Question2:
I´m trying to arpnip and macsuck a Cisco ASA 5585 but it doesn´t
work… (see attachments) Should that work or do I have to import
other MIBS (from Cisco) ?
P.S.: I can assist with providing Cisco VSS SNMP Information. If a
can
assists with providing snmp dumps e.g. then please contact me.
Best Regards

Hi Guy,
I've not seen this before, but I would make a guess it's something
wrong in the compiler toolchain/libraries. The point of failure seems to
be building one of the Perl module dependencies of Netdisco
(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) which uses your system compiler.
You could add "--verbose" to the end of the command (after "--notest")
to perhaps see where it's going wrong. Otherwise, as a workaround, you
could install your OS package for ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which hopefully
is a recent enough version to satisfy (and hence skip over) the
dependency.
regards,
oliver.

I went back to two other machines on which I have successfully

coredumps immediately. I wonder if I've changed something globally
across my OS images or in my network to have caused the issue.
Can you give me a clue as to where I should look for my problem?
Is there any reason I couldn't just tar up my netdisco and postgres
directories and push them to the new host on which I want to run ND?
