Add support for other OS's / distro's

[electrical]

This issue can work as a wishlist for adding support for other OS's / distro's.

• OpenSuse/SLES
• Slackware
• OSX
• BSD

The next week I'll try to cover BSD-flavoured boxes

[electrical]

@mieciu cool. looking forward to it :-)

[electrical]

@mieciu other question, would you be able to do the same for the https://github.com/elasticsearch/puppet-elasticsearch module? :-)

[mieciu]

Sure, no problem, but I'll start off from logstash as I feel more familiar with this product :)

[electrical]

Cool :-) Looking forward to the PR :-)

[electrical]

@mieciu any luck so far?

Cheers.

[mieciu]

For now it seems to work pretty fine on FreeBSD :) I'll submit a PR by the end of the week

[electrical]

Cool! Looking forward to it. P.s. Im working on a rewrite branch for the next release. You might wanna PR it against that one? ( see beaker-docker branch )

[electrical]

@mieciu just a ping to see how its going :-)

Cheers.

@electrical me and mieciu got an idea to work on it on a hackaton. We should be able to test all the requested os versions :)

[electrical]

@e1337h4xx Great to hear! :-) looking forward to the PR's.

For automated system tests i can use either docker containers or vagrant boxes with the testing framework. Hope that won't be an issue?

Cheers.

How would I get this working on a ubuntu box? I'm using vagrant to spin up a precise64 box but not sure if there are any supported packages.

[electrical]

Hi @ryantomlinson the packages for Logstash can be find in our official repositories

[electrical]

@3h4x @mieciu just a friendly ping, how is it going?

Cheers.

Hi there,

Is there support for Ubuntu 12.04? How can someone contribute to the module so that the init script for Ubuntu are present?

Cheers, Anastasios

[electrical]

@zouzias Ubuntu is fully supported with the module :-)

[zouzias]

Thanks! I didn't configure things properly (since I am new to puppet). For some strange reason, I couldn't get the repo info from your manifests/repo.pp.

[electrical]

No worries :-)

[3h4x]

@electrical i'm on it. just got back from holidays :)

[electrical]

@3h4x ah okay ;-) Hope you had a good time? :-)

[3h4x]

@electrical thanks very much. it was awesome to the max :) on the other hand fighting with slackware isn't that bad either ;). I haven't used it since late 90's

how should I give you Dockerfile? should be in other github project connected to docker index?

[electrical]

Hi,

What docker file? For the testing part? I don't have it in a repository yet but planning to. You can put it in a Gist and link it here for now.

Thanks!

Closing this one out. We're going to aim primarily to support the platforms supported by Logstash itself.
