The nedi module allows you to manage your NeDi application.

NeDi can discover your network on a regular basis. It allows you to locate and track all connected devices, monitor traffic or broadcasts, send mails or SMS when certain events occur and backup the configuration of your switches & routers in addition. It even lets you observe the printer supplies! - Remo Rickli

To install this module, copy the whole puppet-module folder into your modules folder in you Puppet environment. It will setup the folder structure for nedi, create a user for NeDi, create a virtual host and manages the crontab for the user nedi. It is highly recommended that you read the documentation of NeDi BEFORE you use this recipie. Since it is still in an early development statium, there can occur several errors. If you expirience something unexpected, please let us know, so we can fix it. You need initialize NeDi by yourself, since there are a few parameters, which aren't implemented into this recipie yet. The application part, of NeDi will be found in /usr/local/nedi. The home directory and all varying files of NeDi are located in /var/nedi. The puppet recipie creates all the necessary symlinks.

The module has three parts, packages, install and config. The packages module installs all needed packages, the install module installs nedi and its folder structure and the config part, manages templates and crontab. The nedi.conf and the virtual host configuration file(for httpd) are templates. You can edit their variables in the init.pp on top of the file. Arrays, which are inside squared brackets, are used as following:

$variable = ['parameter1','parameter2',parameter3'],

The templates are just examples, you can use anything you want as template, or just adjust them. Please let us know if you would like to have a feature included, which you would think will be useful for others.
