Re: [rancid] Simple web-frontend for rancid files?

[Andrew Biddle]

I ended up switching over to git and using GitList.

Send like it has a nice interface and does mostly what I need.

Thanks everyone.

[rancid] CASA SYSTEMS 100G with RANCID

[Duay Julien]

Hello,

We succeeded to use the clogin command to connect to our CMTS CASA 100G with 
the enable mode.

Unfortunately, when using the rancid-run command, the software can't save the 
configuration of the device.

Has anyone ever used RANCID with a CASA SYSTEMS equipment?

Did you create your own CASA SYSTEMS library ?

that should not be necessary, if the remote is added to the origin.

Re: [rancid] Simple web-frontend for rancid files?

We have a copy of Gitlab CE which we use for a lot of git repositories. 
It's got a nice front end. So we do a git push from RANCiD to Gitlab 
every time RANCiD commits. I stole this idea from the book: "5 Unsung 
Tools of DevOps"


We already use ssh public key authentication on most of our switching 
gear; so the RANCiD user (rancid) already has keys set up. We added  an 
account for rancid on gitlab and added its public key for authentication.


- set up a repository on gitlab writable by your RANCiD user
- add the gitlab repository URL as a second remote so your remotes look 
something like:


# git remote -v
gitlab   g...@gitlab.foobar.com:cns/RANCiD.git (fetch)
gitlab   g...@gitlab.foobar.com:cns/RANCiD.git (push)
origin  /usr/local/rancid3/var/gitroot/cns (fetch)
origin  /usr/local/rancid3/var/gitroot/cns (push)

- add a post-commit hook to the repository on RANCiD such that it pushes 
to gitlab:


# cat .git/hooks/post-commit
#!/bin/sh
# this just pushes a copy of this repo to gitlab everytime there's a commit
/usr/bin/git push gitlab

It's a little elaborate, but we had Gitlab already.
I also want to add another git push to our Observium server.

I just installed rancid and found WebSVN to front-end it.   (About 5 
years ago this is the setup I used, so it's what I'm sort of familiar 
with.)   I have rancid working, but I need a better front-end.  WebSVN 
is a little clunky (perhaps it's the way I've built it?) and doesn't 
have a simple way to just download a file.  It does a good job of 
displaying configs and comparing two versions.  But it I want to copy 
the file locally, I'm copy and pasting...  It also appears to be a 
dropped project, so it doesn't look like I should ever expect improvements.


Anything better out there?   I can switch over to git if there's a 
better interface in that direction.   The front-end needs to be 
web-based so that I can just point people to a URL.   It should have a 
means to compare various revisions...   and of course a means to pull 
the files down to your local system.   It doesn't need to support any 
sort of push from client to repository since that's something that I 
only want rancid doing...


Thought?   What are you all using?

Thanks in advance!

The one that i have uses
our $projects_list = "/path/rancid/etc/gitweb.conf";
that is built hourly with a list of groups,
/.git
/.git
...

CVS/* do not appear.
