So I'm already assuming that you have CentOS 7 minimal installed, with connection to the internet, and have just the root account with a password. You have to customize some of the scripts to make Rancid work like it should. During this install guide several things are required when we install Rancid, I have tired to make this as simple as possible but its not just a type and watch it install. This is all open-source so you can create custom scripts or add commands to really make this a personal repository that fits your company. Rancid supports multiple hardware from Cisco, HP, Dell, Juniper and more. It also keeps track of them by using CVS (Concurrent Version System) for backups, so you can go back and compare versions or revert to a previous configuration. Rancid is a great tool to help monitor a device configuration for any changes. In this post I want to walk though the steps to install Rancid on CentOS 7 minimal.
