I have received several queries on how to use the puppet toaster to automate the Baruwa installation on Centos 5.x

This post should guide you on how to do it.

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://repo.baruwa.org/el5/i386/baruwa-release-5-0.noarch.rpm

yum install puppet -y
yum install git -y

cd /usr/local/src
git clone git://github.com/akissa/baruwa-puppet.git
mv baruwa-puppet/modules /etc/puppet/
mv baruwa-puppet/manifests /etc/puppet/

puppet -v /etc/puppet/manifests/toasters/baruwa/init.pp

I have today open sourced and released a Baruwa puppet tooster on github. The tooster can be used to run a fully automated puppet based installation and configuration of Baruwa on Centos 5.

All you do it set a few configuration variables, and run one command go get a cup of tea, and return to you shiny new system.

Contributions to extend support for other distributions and MTA's as always are welcome.

You can check it out at https://github.com/akissa/baruwa-puppet

Baruwa 2.0 the ground up rebuild of Baruwa is partially usable now, to give you a taste of what is to come i have provided some screenshots.

The Baruwa Google analytics indicates lots of searches for Baruwa vs Mailwatch, and given the FUD that keeps making the rounds of how Baruwa does not have lots of options that Mailwatch has.

i have decided to put the facts out there to help users decide.

Missed anything ? Post a comment and i will add it.
