vyBuddy news: Big update pack #1

During last few weeks I was struggling to make vyBuddy better
and now it looks like I finally got some good things done:

  • UI improved, new icons and styles added;
  • Basic executable on demand tasks implemented;
  • Per-hosts executable tasks implemented;
  • Tons of nasty bugs fixed;

Stay tuned folks, each day vyBuddy makes its steps more and more confidently
and I believe soon we will have something to be really proud of.

vyBuddy news: Added watchdog

User rothman reported core daemon vymasterd failing occasionally for no reason.
Added watchdog cronjob to check vymasterd every 5 minutes and restart if needed.
It will log WARN messages like “vyMasterD was successfully restarted by watchdog”.
Guys, have you noticed this vymasterd issue? ;)

vyBuddy news: Added uploadable executors

Finally we did it: uploadable executors are now reality!

Executors are wrapper scripts vyBuddy uploads to managed remote systems
for transparent trouble-free operational and configuration command execution.
Depending on Vyatta software version, vyBuddy uploads different executors.

This measure wipes out most of the Vyatta version hassle. At least for 6.X. :)

vyBuddy news: Consolidated logs and remote commands

Just consolidated vyBuddy project logs under /opt/vybuddy/log,
temporarily restricted usage of unsafe configuration mode commands
and got rid of useless LOG_BACKUP_DIR constant, which broke DRY rule.

Please run update-vybuddy to get latest fixes! :)

vyBuddy news: Update system enhanced

vyBuddy update system was good, but we’ve made it even better!
All update-related stuff moved from /lib to /vendor and slightly optimized.

NB! For end-user everything remains the same, just run update-vybuddy and enjoy.

I really hope I’ve messed enough with update system and now it’s clean enough. ;)

New release: Vyatta-Config-Validator 0.1-6

Fixed “interfaces ethernet ethX ip” empty node quirk,
which failed config validations for some evil reason.
Please install fixed version this way:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y --force-yes install vyatta-config-validator

Credits for noticing this quirk must go to user ipmatchregex.
NB!
Vyatta-Config-Sync users must also upgrade, cause Vyatta-Config-Sync
uses Vyatta-Config-Validator to validate synced configurations!
