Puppet module for Mosh.

Installation

cd /etc/puppet/modules
git clone git://github.com/garthk/puppet-mosh mosh

Usage

include mosh

The class will:

• Import Keith's key from keyserver.ubuntu.com
• Add ppa:keithw/mosh to your apt sources via a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
• Perform apt-get update
• Install language-pack-en-base
• Install Mosh

WARNING: You might think of installing language-pack-en-base as damage if you prefer your servers speaking another language. See "Help Wanted", below.

Testing:

Smoke Testing

• make test or make smoke to perform a simple smoke test

Vagrant

• Install Mosh and Vagrant

• Get the lucid32 box (safe even if you already have it):

    vagrant box add lucid32 http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box
  

• Launch the virtual machine:

    vagrant up
    vagrant ssh
  

• Once at the vagrant@mosh:~$ prompt:

    LANG=en_US.UTF-8 mosh-server
  

• Note the port and key after the MOSH CONNECT line, which might be:

    MOSH CONNECT 60001 RandomLookingKey
  

• Back on your local machine, run mosh-client with the correct key and port, e.g.:

    MOSH_KEY=RandomLookingKey mosh-client 192.168.31.44 60001
  

Help Wanted

Please get in touch if you find any way to either:

• Enable LANG=en_US.UTF-8 without instlling language-pack-en-base
• vagrant ssh -c "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 mosh-server" without it responding with ioctl TIOCGWINSZ: Invalid argument
• Add an -F configfile argument to mosh, to be passed through to ssh
• In general, get mosh working with vagrant ssh so the procedure above isn't so torturous
