OpenVox Server implements OpenVox's server-side components for managing OpenVox agents in a distributed, service-oriented architecture. OpenVox Server is built on top of the same technologies that make OpenVoxDB successful, and which allow us to greatly improve performance, scalability, advanced metrics collection, and fine-grained control over the Ruby runtime.
For information about the current and most recent versions of OpenVox Server, see the release notes.
See Installing OpenVox Server from Packages for complete installation requirements and instructions.
OpenVox Server uses its own JRuby interpreter, which doesn't load gems or other
code from your system Ruby. If you want OpenVox Server to load additional gems,
use the OpenVox Server-specific gem command to install them. See OpenVox
Server and Gems for more
information about gems and OpenVox Server.
OpenVox Server honors almost all settings in puppet.conf and should pick them
up automatically. See the Configuration
documentation for details.
For more information on the differences between OpenVox Server's support for
puppet.conf settings and the Ruby master's, see our documentation of
differences in puppet.conf.
OpenVox can use its built-in certificate authority (CA) and public key infrastructure (PKI) tools or use an existing external CA for all of its secure socket layer (SSL) communications. See certificate authority docs for details.
In network configurations that require external SSL termination, you need to do a few things differently in OpenVox Server. See External SSL Termination for details.
OpenVox Server provides several command-line utilities for development and
debugging purposes. These commands are all aware of
puppetserver.conf,
as well as the gems and Ruby code specific to OpenVox Server and OpenVox, while
keeping them isolated from your system Ruby.
For more information, see OpenVox Server Subcommands.
As this application is still in development, there are a few known issues that you should be aware of.
If you want to play with our code, these documents should prove useful:
OpenVox Server also uses the Trapperkeeper Clojure framework.
To run lein tests, do the following:
- Clone the repo with the
--recursiveflag, or after cloning, dogit submodule init && git submodule update - Run
./dev-setup - Run
lein test
OpenVox Server's branching strategy is documented on the GitHub repo wiki.

Cursive is a Clojure IDE based on IntelliJ IDEA. Several of us at Puppet use it regularly and couldn't live without it. It's got some really great editing, refactoring, and debugging features, and the author, Colin Fleming, has been amazingly helpful and responsive when we have feedback. If you're a Clojure developer, you should definitely check it out!
JRuby is an implementation of the Ruby programming language that runs on the JVM. It's a fantastic project, and the bridge that allows us to run Puppet Ruby code while taking advantage of the JVM's advanced features and libraries. We're very grateful to the developers for building such a great product and for helping us work through a few bugs that we've discovered along the way.
