When I say 'dop-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 Puppet Inc. 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!

missão da semana cumprida!
valeu @robertomurta e @riverfount pela parceria boa de sempre!
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/
I'm really exited about the recent #puppet fork called #OpenVox that aims to make puppet real #FOSS again. Still a lot of work to do, but downloads and package repositories are up now: https://voxpupuli.org/blog/2025/03/04/openvox-downloads-and-mirroring/
Join us on the #VoxPupuli community slack https://short.voxpupu.li/slack to get the answers to your #VoxPupuli , #OpenVox and #puppet questions and discuss with the community.
