Are multiple overlords per minion possible without delegation?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, we have an web-based user account provisioning system, part of the
provisioning process is to manually create user's home directories and
set their quotas.

As the home directories are on a number of servers which are already
func minions, I'd like to automate this process with func. However, I
already have a func overlord which isn't on the web server that the
provisioning system runs on.

I've seen the delegation feature:
https://fedorahosted.org/func/wiki/DelegationModule

but I'm not sure how the ACLs and delegation interact, can an ACL be
placed on sub-overlord to only pass some master-overlord commands to
particular minions?

Also, my overlord is currently a minion of itself so I can change it's
configuration along with the other minions, if I set it to be a minion of
a master-overlord I lose this functionality.

This all seems a bit messy, and it seems cleaner to me have the web
server be another overlord of which the fileservers are also minions of.
Is this possible without setting up a parallel func install for those
hosts?

Cheers.
