Re: [cobbler] synchronizing cobbler installations
Hi
Cobbler has replication features. See the docs:
http://www.cobblerd.org/manuals/2.6.0/3/2/8_-_Replication.html
I also wrote this last year, which has been working well for us:

You might want to look at katello/satellite 6, which has a capsule
system based on The Foreman. In essence you have a capsule/proxy per
site, which does all your repo mirroring, local dhcp/tftp/etc. This
would require alot more effort.

Hi all,
I have a need to synchronize the content and config between multiple
instances of cobbler. Each instance is running in a VM and new
instances are created by cloning the VM image. These instances are
spread around geographically and some do not have very fast internet
connections.
For config, I have /var/lib/cobbler and /etc/cobbler in source
control. I commit my changes on the master instance and then update on
all of the slave instances and then restart cobbler. Seems to work
well and my git repo is already accessible over the internet so this
is convenient.
But I am not so keen on putting my repo mirrors in source control
because they are large. Plus I have a pip wheelhouse and an NPM proxy
cache.
Any suggestions on how to keep these all in sync? I am considering
just using rsync, but that will require moving my master instance (or
a copy thereof) someplace accessible by all.
I guess this isn't a cobbler question at all, but perhaps someone has
some insights that might help me.
Thanks
