NPR is the best we can get, there's not one national news org truly about the people, not corporate consumption and profits. So they need some red pen from time to time.

⌛️ 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.

The New Stack · OpenVox: The Community-Driven Fork of Puppet Has ArrivedWho forked who is a question for the one-time Puppet community activists and Puppet's owner, Perforce, to debate. What users need to know is that there's now an open source fork of Puppet, OpenVox.

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. voxpupuli.org/openvox/ is a drop-in replacement. #FOSS saved the day again!

Vox PupuliOpenVox Automation FrameworkVox Pupuli is a collective of Puppet module, tooling and documentation maintainers working together for the greater good.

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.
