Things are moving fast for #OpenVox and building #community is top priority. Mark your calendars for mid July in Nürnberg, Germany for the very first VoxConf. It’s going to tag team along with the Foreman’s birthday party, so you’ll be able to attend both events at once!

#VoxPupuli has tried to negotiate a usable EULA for #Puppet Core that would allow effective testing. Unfortunately, those efforts have not been successful. Their modules will only be tested against #OpenVox going forward. https://voxpupuli.org/blog/2025/05/19/perforce-eula/
️ Tive contato apenas hoje com notícia de janeiro segundo a qual Puppet, sistema de gerenciamento de configuração de diversas máquinas, teria passado por patifaria semelhante à ocorrida ano passado com Redis: na prática, a empresa responsável teria abandonado a comunidade. O artigo enfoca o fato de a comunidade interessada em sua continuidade ter se organizado e — algo possível por, felizmente, se tratar até então de #SoftwareLivre — lançado uma derivação do projeto, rebatizado de OpenVox.
Isso é louvável, ressalvando-se que o chamado OpenVox tenha sido descrito apenas como "implementação de Puppet de código aberto". A utilização específica dessa terminologia indica as motivações de quem a escreveu. É importante não confundirmos duas correntes de pensamento que, embora costumem tratar praticamente dos mesmos objetos, partem de premissas e vislumbram objetivos diversos em torno do tema.When I say 'drop-in replacement' I mean it: #OpenVox 7.x up to 8.11 is functionally equivalent to #Puppet. The commands and configuration files are the same. You just uninstall puppet-agent, install openvox-agent, and that's it. There is absolutely no reason to pay Perforce (who bought Puppet inc. in 2022) for access to open source software.
Today is the day. #Puppet is dead, long live #OpenVox
Background: Perforce bought Puppet in 2022, betrayed the #FOSS community and changed the license. This resulted in a #fork called #OpenVoxProject, but old puppet releases still worked, so many #DevOps did not care enough to switch.
Yesterday the release key for the free puppet packages expired. It is unlikely that they will renew those keys.
It's time to move on. https://voxpupuli.org/openvox/ is a drop-in replacement. #FOSS saved the day again!
5 mil nodes linux (vps e baremetals) gerenciados ;)
missão da semana cumprida!
valeu @robertomurta e @riverfount pela parceria boa de sempre!
Alles über #OpenVox auf der SLAC 2025: #Puppet Open Source wird nicht mehr weiter entwickelt. Stattdessen gibt es mit "Puppet Open Core" ein Produkt, das nicht mehr Open Source ist. Die Open-Source-Community hat reagiert und ein neues Projekt Namens "OpenVox“ erstellt.
Martin Alfke von betadots ist erfahrener Puppet-Profi und hält auf der Secure Linux Administration Conference 2025 einen Vortrag zum neuen OpenVox.
Jetzt anmelden – wir sehen uns vom 2.-4.6.25 in Berlin!

Hey everyone, the very first release of #OpenVox has been released! It’s a drop in replacement for #Puppet and is ready for initial evaluation. Here’s a link to the blog post with more details via #HackerNews in hopes you’ll help vote it is so that even more people know what #VoxPupuli has accomplished 
We’re excited to announce the first release of #OpenVox, the community-maintained #OpenSource implementation of #Puppet. This is functionally equivalent to Puppet and should be a drop-in replacement. Be aware, of course, that even though you can type the same commands, use all the same modules and extensions, and configure the same settings, OpenVox is not yet tested to the same standard that Puppet is.
