That's a great idea. Does anyone have access to the wiki? If not I could
create a page on my site.

Hi,
Thanks for Eric for all his work.
How about a temporary website that puts all these bits of information together?
Best,

Thank you, Eric.
Ansible is pretty nice:
http://www.ansible.com/get-started
Seems to be a good balance between simplicity and power.
I will probably end up using it to manage my QMT host(s) if I can, so I may
document my experience here in due course.

Hi Angus,
I've never tried Ansible, I'll have a look at it.
CentOS 6 is still installed via Github. Look through the list and you can
find the procedure to install it.
For CentOS 6 updates use the WHTC repo: # rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.whitehorsetc.com/pub/repo/qmt/CentOS/6/current/noarch/whtc-qmt-1-1.qt.el6.noarch.rpm
As for CentOS 7 there are two methods:
<method 1>
1) Install CentOS 7 minimal install (I install both options under
minimal install. One is development tools and I can't remember the other).
2) curl ftp://ftp.whitehorsetc.com/pub/qmail/CentOS7/qmt/scripts/qt_prep.sh
qt_prep.sh
3) sh qt_prep.sh (Automatic reboot)
4) sh qt_install.sh
</method 1>
Or
<method 2>
1) Install CentOS 7 minimal install (I install both options under
minimal install. One is development tools and I can't remember the other).
2) curl ftp://ftp.whitehorsetc.com/pub/qmail/CentOS7/qmt/scripts/qt_prep.sh
qt_prep.sh
3) sh qt_prep.sh (Automatic reboot)
4) curl
ftp://ftp.whitehorsetc.com/pub/qmail/CentOS7/qmt/scripts/qt_grp_install.sh
qt_grp_install.sh
5) sh qt_grp_install.sh
</method 2>
Eric Shubert is still the lead for QMT. I will continue to do packaging in
his absence. Eventually, I'd like to move all the work that I've done to
GitHub. There are many people using and updating CentOS 7 and have been
since near the beginning of this year with success. I'd say that its stable.

I’ve been running a QMT server on a CentOS 5 VPS for a while, and I’m now
looking to migrate it to a newer host.
What’s the currently-preferred platform? CentOS 6, or CentOS 7? Are there
any other special requirements?
Also, I know that in the absence of Eric Shubart, Eric Broch has been doing
all the heavy lifting and maintaining the RPMs. Is there a document anywhere
that describes the current step-by-step installation procedure using the
RPMs on whitehorsetc.com? Is it essentially unchanged from before, or are
there new things we need to know?
Final question: has anyone tried using Ansible to manage a QMT install? I’ve
just started to play around with Ansible, and it seems like a well
thought-out tool, so I’m wondering how easy it would be to use to automate
the process of getting QMT up and running.
Thanks,
Angus
