Documentation needed: how to remove patchdashboard clients #11

Closed phryneas closed 9 years ago

Hi, I'f like to try out patchdashboard, but for the case that it is not what I was wishing for, I would like to know how to clean it from my clients beforehand ;)

Sweeping at the source code, it looks like the client installs to /opt/patch_client and /etc/cron.d/patch-manager.

And if I use the push method, I will have to clean a key from /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Are there any places I am missing?

/opt/patch_manager
/root/.ssh/authorized_keys (each node)
/etc/apache2/conf.d/patch_manager.conf (Ubuntu/Debian)
/etc/httpd/conf.d/patch_manager.conf (RHEL/CentOS/Fedora)
/var/www/patch_manager (if you set it to default)
/etc/cron.d/patch-manager

I hope this helps!

Thanks that helps a great deal.

Just for clarification:

Are any of the files you named (beside the authorized_keys) present on any of the clients?
does the "pull" mode work without the authorized_keys?

jonsjava commented 9 years ago

The pull works without authorized keys, but installs needed scripts into /opt/patch_manager on each client.

Okay, that's everything I need to know - thank you!

This looks promising :+1:
