===============================
Setting up Bcfg2 From Scratch
===============================
Ala `Managing /etc/motd with Bcfg2 Starting From an Empty VM
<http://blog.conpocococo.org/post/6079832974/managing-etc-motd-with-bcfg2-starting-from-an-empty-vm>`_,
I'll be setting up a fresh OS X 10.6 machine to be managed by Bcfg2.
Get OS X 10.6 Running
=====================
Use your favorite provisioning method to get your operating system
running and fully patched.
For this hands on, I'm running OS X 10.6.8 (Build 10K540) with the
supplied python 2.6.1. I've also turned on Remote Login (i.e. ssh) so
I can use my client to write this document going through the steps;
having ssh on is not a requirement for this howto.
Get bcfg2-server Working
========================
Get bcfg2 package
-----------------
You might be able to get a package already built for you, but it is
not hard to build it from the source. You'll need git (via
`git-osx-installer <https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer>`_ or
`homebrew <https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew|homebrew>`_; the former is
easier, the later more developer friendly) and Apple's `XCode
<http://developer.apple.com/xcode/>`_.
The first step is to clone the bcfg2 repository into a working
directory:
.. code-block: bash
cd ~/Developer
git clone https://github.com/Bcfg2/bcfg2.git
cd bcfg2
At this point you will probably want to checkout a release tag (`git
tag -l` to see a list of them). This test is using v1.2.0pre4. Once
you've done that you can build the server.
.. code-block: bash
git checkout v1.2.0pre4
cd osx
make server
The server package contains both the client and the server. The
package is located at ``./osx/bcfg2-VERSION.pkg``. Copy it to the machine
you want to set up from scratch and install it.
THIS NEEDS TO VERIFIED
Some of the differences between bcfg2 on Mac OS X and Debian is that
the libraries are stored at
`/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/share/bcfg2/`
`/Library/Python/site-packages/Bcfg2/` instead of
`/usr/lib/pymodules/` and `/usr/share/pyshare/Bcfg2. Also, instead of
cron and init.d,
`/Library/LaunchDaemons/gov.anl.mcs.bcfg2-daily.plist` controls
peridic runs and starts and stops. The runtime files are stored in
`/usr/local/bin` under Mac OS X instead of /usr/sbin/ for Debian.
VERIFY::
10.6_client :~ user$ sudo /usr/local/bin/bcfg2-admin init
Failed to import lxml dependency. Shutting down server.
Try: sudo easy_install lxml. If you don't have gcc-4.2 installed,
you'll need to install it on a machine that does. Then move
`/Library/Python/2.6/sites-packages/lxml-2.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg`
to the client and add the line
"./lxml-2.3-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg" to
`/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/easy-install.pth`.
Getting a new error::
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/bcfg2-admin init
Interactively initialize a new repository.
bcfg2-admin init
$
So what is lxml easy_install fully installing? Need to make a package
(Lettuce to the rescue!)
