Having used pakiti<\/a> by the past, and intending to setup some version tracking system to keep an eye on a setup I started managing recently, I was looking for an alternative that would work out of the box – which is my main grudge against pakiti2, I have a large set of patches, scripts, database init dump, which makes it pretty impractical to setup from scratch.<\/p>\n

Investigating on the subject, I stumbled upon several rpm-based solutions, such as PulpProject<\/a>, SpaceWalk<\/a> or its successor: Katello<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"PatchDashboard<\/a>

PatchDashboard frontpage<\/p><\/div>\n

Although\u00a0the setup I’m working with today is build around Ubuntu, and a couple Debian. Which is how I ended up trying out PatchDashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s a couple\u00a0stuff<\/a>\u00a0I noticed during install on Debian jessie. A detail\u00a0regarding http proxies<\/a>\u00a0if you have such. And ultimately, a certificate error<\/a> on their website<\/a>.
\nI also\u00a0sent a few pull requests dealing with php errors, mostly cosmetic\u00a0[1<\/a>, 2<\/a>,\u00a03<\/a>, 4<\/a>, 5<\/a>, 6<\/a>], some\u00a0more practical [7<\/a>,\u00a08<\/a>, 9<\/a>, 10<\/a>], and adding Debian jessie to their database init script [11<\/a>, 12<\/a>].<\/p>\n

Having dealt with that, everything works pretty much as expected.<\/p>\n

\"PatchDashboard<\/a>

PatchDashboard list vulnerable packages<\/p><\/div>\n

Next stuff I added to my setup, is some patch listing installed nodejs packages, and known vulnerabilities (according to snyk<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I’m not sure these would be relevant enough to send a pull request, this is a whole new feature, that only makes sense for those hosting nodejs-based apps.
\nNote I\u00a0did\u00a0publish the corresponding changes<\/a>, yet only to\u00a0my fork on github<\/a>,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
