User:Mark/Home-NIS to puppet migration
To migrate a single app server
- Install puppet (describe this)
- Upgrade wikimedia-task-appserver to 1.34. This ensures that all local scripts are installed, and the dependency on wikimedia-nis-client is removed.
- Stop apache
- apt-get remove --purge wikimedia-nis-client nscd
- Ensure puppet creates all required users and groups
- Run dpkg-reconfigure wikimedia-task-appserver.
It would be nice if this could be more automated...
Problems here
- wikimedia-task-appserver version 1.34 no longer depends on wikimedia-nis-client, which means that new installs fail.
