Description

It would be great if Rudder Server could have a local RPM/APT/other repositories which contains rudder-agent packages. It would permit an auto update approach for its nodes.

Suppose Rudder Server has got an APT repository at http://rudder.server.lan/apt which contains rudder-agent packages

As system promises, we can apply promises on all accepted nodes which:

  • Add http://rudder.server.lan/apt in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rudder.server.lan.list (for debian) (like PT APT package manager configuration)
  • Check update for rudder-agent package (like PT_ Package management_ with rudder-agent set to "check upgrade")

With upgrade of Rudder server, new Rudder agent package will be available at http://rudder.server.lan/apt , then all accepted nodes will be upgraded.

Very interesting feature idea, thanks for submitting it!

However, I've changed the category. Please note that the category "IT infrastructure and tools" refers to Normation's IT infrastructure and tools used to build or develop Rudder. It should only be used for issues such as bugs in build scripts, a bug in the wiki, etc... In this case I think "system PT" is better suited.
