Betadots Summer Team Meeting!
As a team that works primarily remotely, we enjoy meeting in person every now and then to discuss the next steps and upcoming tasks together. This year's summer event took place two weeks in Darmstadt.
Best regards from the betadots team (not quite complete in the photo)!
Hey, did you know that you can `gem install openvox` now? Happy Friday! #OpenVox https://rubygems.org/gems/openvox
Things are moving fast for #OpenVox and building #community is top priority. Mark your calendars for mid July in Nürnberg, Germany for the very first VoxConf. It’s going to tag team along with the Foreman’s birthday party, so you’ll be able to attend both events at once!

#VoxPupuli has tried to negotiate a usable EULA for #Puppet Core that would allow effective testing. Unfortunately, those efforts have not been successful. Their modules will only be tested against #OpenVox going forward. https://voxpupuli.org/blog/2025/05/19/perforce-eula/
No un-notarized binaries ever! Today’s story is about wrestling with #MacOS’s #Gatekeeper so we can release a production-ready MacOS #OpenVox agent build. https://overlookinfratech.com/2025/05/12/macos-signing/
Have you been looking at #OpenVox and wondered what you could do to help out? What if I told you about an opportunity to help us, and also hundreds of other #OSS projects that you probably rely on? The #OSUOSL is our primary package host and helped us get off the ground right from the start. They are in critical need of funding and without your help, they may cease to exist. See this blog post for more information and go talk to your boss today! #OSS #Puppet @puppet https://osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/
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. https://voxpupuli.org/openvox/ is a drop-in replacement. #FOSS saved the day again!
5 mil nodes linux (vps e baremetals) gerenciados ;)
missão da semana cumprida!
valeu @robertomurta e @riverfount pela parceria boa de sempre!
The betadots HDM v3.2.0 is out!
(Hiera Data Manager)
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.
Jetzt anmelden – wir sehen uns vom 2.-4.6.25 in Berlin!

Have you been waiting for #OpenVox packages for #Windows? Well you're in luck because the OpenVox agent release 8.14.0 includes release candidates for both #Windows and #MacOS! Try them out and let us know how they work for you. https://artifacts.voxpupuli.org/downloads/
Quite a few people have raised concerns about #trademarks because of the #OpenVox name and the use of the #puppet command names and paths. We thought we'd talk a bit about trademark and why we don't have an #infringement concern, and describe our roadmap to changing some of the paths in safe and non-disruptive ways. https://overlookinfratech.com/2025/03/20/a-whirlwind-conversation-on-trademarks/
Busted some dead code today with puppet-ghostbuster. Some false-positives but also many hits. Did 46 changes accordingly and nothing broke. A bit disappointed a how good this worked 😅😂
Spent the morning migrating all 39 nodes in my #HomeLab from #Puppet to #Openvox now that Perforce are being dicks. Relatively painless in the end, but mapping everything I had in puppetlabs-puppet to foreman-puppet-puppet took a bit longer than I expected. All seems to be running fine again now, so I'm calling that a success.
