cdist-type__cdist - Manage cdist installations

This cdist type allows you to easily setup cdist on another box, to allow the other box to configure systems.

This type is NOT required by target hosts. It is only helpful to build FROM which you configure other hosts.

This type will use git to clone

Select the user to create for the cdist installation. Defaults to "cdist".
Select the source from which to clone cdist from. Defaults to "git@code.ungleich.ch:ungleich-public/cdist.git".
Select the branch to checkout from. Defaults to "master".

# Install cdist for user cdist in her home as subfolder cdist
__cdist /home/cdist/cdist
# Use alternative source
__cdist --source "git@code.ungleich.ch:ungleich-public/cdist.git" /home/cdist/cdist
