1. Is there a way to script an entire installation?

2. There is the underutilized tool rconfig.

3. How do people managing keeping all of their configuration files and software versions consistent across all production environments?

4. Kiki – there’s many, many ways to go about that. You can check parts of your system into source control, or use tools designed specifically around that like Ansible, Salt, Puppet, and so on. Docker was arguably designed as an answer to that question.

5. Puppet has relatively strong support on DragonFly BSD. The one thing you’ll need to hack in at the moment is a package resource override until the change I put in to fix it trickles down to the release we have in the ports system. That said, in your top level manifest ( or in every manifest with a package resource ), until that change gets back, add this:

   Package {
   provider => ‘pkgng’,
   }
