The Vox Pupuli project has
announced the first release of OpenVox, a
"soft-fork
" of the Puppet
automation framework. The intention to fork was announced
in December 2024.
OpenVox 8.11 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. [...]
Please don't use these packages on critical production infrastructures yet, unless you're comfortable with troubleshooting and reporting back on the silly errors we've made while rebranding and rebuilding.
