Hacky Openvpn

Drop both conf files into /etc/openvpn and /etc/init.d/openvpn should pick up on both and fire them up. Configure the ip addr of your host you wish to vpn through in the configs on the server lines.

Key difference is the openvpn-split.conf only pushes routes for netblocks you want to route over the vpn. In the below case, its the two routable /16s. The openvpn-everything.conf pushes a gateway down to clients, shunting all traffic through the vpn endpoint. Also push DNS servers if you have records locked up in campus DNS.

You also have to do all the easy-rsa business which is fairly well documented on the web. Drag the client certs which come from that business over to your vpn client. I use Tunnelblick in OS X.

Tested using openvpn-2.2.2-1.el5.rf from rpmforge on CentOS 5.8 in a Xen DomU.

First pass at Percona bundles at Yale:

• One in support of simple Percona, non-XtraDB.
• One with XtraDB, to be extended to support more cluster functions.
• Both needing Xtrabackup to perform Innobackup/MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB) functions.

Percona doesnt keep many versions around in their yum repo, so Yale has to mirror them internally to reference old versions.

Yale needs to whack on /etc/yum.conf to extend the blacklisting of Percona like is done with MySQL Enterprise packages via exclude=MySQL-*-advanced-gpl* @ cfengine. This is because Percona drops obsoletes flags on their rpms, same as Oracle does.

Running vagrant 1.0.3 and veewee 0.2.3 on OSX 10.7.4, sometimes vagrant/veewee croak and you cant respin a basebox.

Remove it from ~/Virtualbox\ VMs/ and youre good!

silkey@rdj:~/Vagrant/veewee [0]
[528] λ > vagrant basebox build 'RHEL-6.3-x86_64'

Verifying the isofile rhel-server-6.3-x86_64-boot.iso is ok.

RHEL 6.3 veewee templates for vagrant use

These templates can be used to feed to veewee to spin up an el6 basebox for use with vagrant.

There are some coded values in definition.rb and ks.cfg which point at Yale-ishness. Amend to point at local RHEL iso/yum repo.

Built successfully with veewee 0.2.3, vagrant 1.0.3, Virtualbox 4.1.18.
