getting started

[icroseland]

so, we are in the process of upgrading from a fairly ancient puppet 3.8 setup managing Centos 7 hosts to puppet 7 managing Alma * hosts.

So, far so good.. I am now trying to get choria up and running to replace the mcollective. I am noticing a small problem though.
/usr/bin/mco -> /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/mco the link is to nothing, and I have no idea where to get a modern enough mco.
none of the puppetlabs packages seem to actually provide /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin mco.

choria ping works.

I am pretty sure I am totally missing something important..

The choria-mcorpc-support gem provide compatibility with older MCollective (including the mco(1) command). It is managed by the choria/mcollective_choria puppet module.

Make sure this is part of your Puppetfile and included in $mcollective::plugin_classes:

    class { 'choria':
      # ...
    }

    class { 'mcollective':
      plugin_classes => [
        # ...
        'mcollective_choria',
      ],
      # ...
    }

good news, got it working.. it was mostly a turning the gems into rpms and using those problem.
