Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: Can't Bootstrap to localhost Author: zzamboni Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,26152,26153#msg-26153
I don't think there's anything that prevents you from running cf-agent without a policy hub, particularly if you've disabled cf-serverd. I've done it many times, with clean CFEngine installs and then run cf-agent against test files without bootstrapping first. I do agree, though, that if you are going to bootstrap, then bootstrap to localhost should not be allowed. Because as we all know, temporary tests tend to easily turn into production code, and then someone will run into problems. The full reasoning is described here: https://github.com/cfengine/core/commit/5ec32e5cdf60f11992e96484b49725872ebea349 If you really want to do it, because you want to bootstrap and you are sure no other machine will connect to the hub, but you don't want to go around finding the machine's IP address, then one workaround is to use another localhost IP address, such as 127.0.1.1, as suggested by Nicolas on Twitter. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
