i have that in my site.pp

see the "Custom facts" entry in https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6/plugins_in_modules.html#module_plugin_types

Also I have stdlib installed in my environment, so I can evaluate the

service_provider

fact as:

$ bundle exec puppet apply -e 'notice($service_provider)'
Notice: Scope(Class[main]): systemd

Since I'm not running as root, puppet loads the fact from

~/.puppetlabs/etc/code/environments/production/modules/stdlib/lib/facter/service_provider.rb

Also you may have a typo in

dataceter.rb

why yes… yes i do 😐

interesting, so I do not need my hack anymore? I think for puppet 4 or 5 it was required. or maybe only for types/providers

@josh do you habe some thoughts on speeding up pluginsync? I think in the moment the agent has one http session and downloads files one after another? fetching them in parallel could be easy to inplement but ddos the puppetserver

I would expect the

libdir

(the directory where the agent downloads files to) to be added to the Ruby

$LOAD_PATH

when running

puppet apply

I'd also expect

puppet apply

to be able to load custom facts from modules in a specific environment, e.g.

puppet apply --environment dev

should load custom facts from

$codedir/environments/dev/modules/*/lib/facter/*.rb

About pluginsync, the main issue is puppetserver fileserving is handled in JRuby, so the server must acquire a JRuby instance to handle each

file_content

request. It just doesn't scale as the number of files and agents increases.

yep. we noticed great improvements when we added an nginx in front of it that served the static files

but implementing logic that creates a .tar.gz sounds rather complex

yeah I'm not convinced "download a tarball" is the way to go... It solves one problem but introduces others.

indeed Next up is 🧑‍🏫 Bolt in 4 hours

Also wanted to mention we added agent support for macOS 12 (x86_64) support recently and Windows 11 is on the way. Ubuntu 22.04 should land some time after. We've been delayed on platform additions due to on-going data center migration. Always a good time.

Alright folks that's a wrap, see you in two weeks!

Thanks!

Welcome to bolt office hours! boltymcboltface bolt boltymcbeardface Lets talk bolt

on behalf of @bastelfreak 😄 is there a timeline on Ruby3 for bolt?

This message was deleted.

@Lumiere Just need some changes to get made in r10k before we can remove the version restriction in Bolt. No timeline on when those will get in, but we have eyes on the PRs. 🙂

Also, we'll still be shipping Ruby 2.7 with Bolt, so it'll only affect gem installs (ie you can install the bolt gem on systems with Ruby 3 installed)

it'd be gem installs and I assume the Arch packages that he works on...

allthethings Next up is 🧑‍🏫Puppet Forge in 43 hours

As a note: main branch of r10k works on Ruby 3.0/3.1 since last night

missed the puppet releases office hours.. 😞 I'd like to raise https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-11432 there..
