Puppet-apply repo

This is a repo that contains the framework to get up and running with puppet apply against machines you want to manage with puppet consistently.

The important things to note are bin/apply wraps the puppet run on the remote machine, and bin/run syncs the required bits from your local machine up to the remote machine before invoking the bin/apply script.

It works over ssh & expects rsync to exist on both machines.

Getting Started

• Clone this repo to your workstation & run bundle install (requires working ruby environment)

• Add your puppet modules to modules/ (role_modules for any role modules you have!)

• Pull in any external modules via librarian-puppet by editing Puppetfile and running bundle exec librarian-puppet install

• Add your node definitions under nodes/ & any hiera data you need to files under hieradata

• To run puppet on a remote node, call ./bin/run -H HOST_OR_IP -- --noop to do a noop run. (We expect puppet to already be installed on the remote node.)

• Re-run without -- --noop to have puppet apply the changes

• Move onto the next node. (Don't forget to commit your changes into git!)
