These are the Puppet modules we use for various things at HashiCorp, such as provisioning CI machines (masters and slaves), installer build machines for Vagrant, and more.
I'm well aware that having an all-in-one "modules" repo is looked down upon versus having a repo-per-puppet-module, but I really didn't want to bloat the HashiCorp organization with a bajillion puppet modules.
These Puppet modules are written for Puppet 3.0+.
The operating system of choice for servers at HashiCorp is Ubuntu, so these modules will generally work very well for that.
However, these modules are also expected to set things like CI slaves up on a variety of platforms, so some cookbooks may work on more than one platform. Some even run on Windows.
Using librarian-puppet is recommended. You can then easily reference a module in the following way:
mod "apt",
:git => "git://github.com/hashicorp/puppet-modules.git",
:ref => "c22cf73f80bae622537cd43476ccc157f4f7f24f",
:path => "modules/apt"
It is highly recommended that you lock your librarian dependencies against a specific ref (commit, tag, etc.) of this repository.
If you don't use librarian-puppet, then just download this repository and copy out what you need. This is looked down upon, but you do what you need to do.
Each module has a README.md file that is easily readable in a text editor
or on GitHub. Additinally, the Puppet files themselves are extremely well
commented, so please read those.
If you use a module and you find a bug or tunable you'd like to contribute back, then please just fork and submit a pull request. It is as easy as that.
Contributions are highly welcome, thank you!
