MCollective is a powerful tool for orchestrating and managing large-scale, datacenter environments. By using MCollective, system administrators can automate and manage tasks across multiple servers at once.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MCollective on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
MCollective is distributed with Puppet. If you don't have Puppet installed on your system, you will need to do so before proceeding.
To install Puppet, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S puppet
Once Puppet is installed, you can install MCollective by running the following command:
sudo gem install stomp mcollective
This will install the MCollective client and server components, as well as the STOMP Ruby gem.
To configure MCollective, you will need to create a configuration file called server.cfg in the /etc/mcollective directory. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/mcollective/server.cfg
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
plugin.activemq.pool.size = 1
plugin.activemq.pool.1.host = localhost
plugin.activemq.pool.1.port = 61613
Save and exit the file.
To start the MCollective server, run the following command:
sudo /usr/bin/mcollectived
To test that MCollective is working, you can run the following command to display a list of all nodes connected to the MCollective server:
sudo /usr/bin/mco ping
You should see a list of all nodes that are connected to the MCollective server.
Congratulation! You have successfully installed MCollective on EndeavourOS Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
