Overview
Install and configure Clara, a set of cluster administration tools.
Module Description
This module installs Clara and generates a usable configuration file.
Setup
What clara affects
Setup Requirements
This module provides a default GPG key, but it should be replaced by your own key.
Beginning with clara
If you wish to use the local repositories feature, you must create a GPG key.
The example below shows how to create a GPG key (the passphrase used is passphrase):
LANG=C gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring puppet-config/modules/clara/files/cluster_keyring.gpg --secret-keyring puppet-config/modules/clara/files/cluster_keyring.secret.gpg --gen-key

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) RSA and RSA (default)
(2) DSA and Elgamal
(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
Your selection? 1
RSA keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
What keysize do you want? (2048)
Requested keysize is 2048 bits
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
0 = key does not expire
<n> = key expires in n days
<n>w = key expires in n weeks
<n>m = key expires in n months
<n>y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0)
Key does not expire at all
Is this correct? (y/N) y
You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <heinrichh@duesseldorf.de>"
Real name: Puppet HPC Cluster TEST keyring
Email address: gochangeit@hpc.example.com
Comment: YOU should feel bad to use this in production. This test keyring should be regenerated on your cluster. You can change its source with the $keyring_source parameter for the clara puppet class.
You selected this USER-ID:
"Puppet HPC Cluster TEST keyring (YOU should feel bad to use this in production. This test keyring should be regenerated on your cluster. You can change its source with the $keyring_source parameter for the clara puppet class.) <gochangeit@hpc.example.com>"
Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
