Hi List (Newbie Alert!) I've got a test installation of cfengine3 running on a few freebsd servers: What I'd like to do is use cfengine to automate the creation of a Server Template for package installation and configuration.
So, for example, I have a server which is an ideal installation template (right packages installed, right processes running, right configuration files), and I deploy cfengine on it, and cfengine checks the packages installed (and possibly the config files in /etc/) and generates for me 3 .cf files: 1. A file containing cefengine code to install all packages on the server that are listed as installed, 2. A file containing cfengine code to create and configure all configuration files in /etc/ and, 3. A file with cfengine code to check if all the processes running on the freebsd server are running, and if not to start them up. The idea would then be to deploy these 3 files and cf-agent on other bare freebsd installed servers and cfengine would do the work of 'cloning' the configuration profile of the new systems. Is this easily doable with the current tools that come with cfengine3?
