MCollective is a powerful framework that is used for orchestration and parallelization in infrastructure management. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MCollective on NixOS.
The first step is to install the MCollective package on your NixOS system. This can be done using the Nix package manager.
$ sudo nix-env -iA nixos.mcollective
After installing MCollective, it is important to configure it properly to ensure that it runs smoothly. This can be done by following these steps:
$ sudo vi /etc/mcollective/server.cfg
plugin.redis.pool.size
and plugin.redis.pool.max_overflow
values are set correctly:plugin.redis.pool.size = 10
plugin.redis.pool.max_overflow = 20
The final step is to start the MCollective service. This can be done by following these steps:
$ sudo systemctl start mcollective
$ sudo systemctl status mcollective
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured MCollective on NixOS. Now you can use MCollective for parallel execution and orchestration in your infrastructure management.
