Looks like

ensure_resource('class', 'profile::some_user', { my_variable => $user })

would probably work in your main class

ohhhh interesting

nice thanks

ensure_resource() is mostly bad style these days I'd say..

okay I know that I can use

$facts['os']['distro']['codename']

instead of

lsbdistcodename

But when I try from Inst.2 and I compare with Inst.1 I do not see the same diff. I would like to understand. I tried to purge and reinstall puppet-agent package on Inst.2 . no effect. someone have any idea? there a diff one is much updated then the other one. but doesn’t explain this? I tried to differentiate the Ruby version. but they use the same version. Inst.1 :

# facter lsbdistcodename
xenial
# dpkg -l puppet-agent

looks like I need to install PuppetDB. I currently have a Master/Compiler setup with the Master being the CA. Should I put PuppetDB on it's own server? Or can I put it with the Compiler?

PE deploys PDB with the compilers

I'm using Open Source, sorry I should have clarified

I understood 🙂

if you've some free resources, you can put puppetdb+postgresql on the primary.

but a dedicated box works as well

ok, thank you guys!

wait, primary as in Master(CA) or Compiler?

because the master isn't doing much at all

where the CA is

perfect

that's usually called primary (in PE)

gotcha!

last question (possibly) any specific link I should start with? I see a ton already

I usually use theforeman/puppet + puppetlabs/puppetdb module to configure this in opensource

See the

theforeman-puppet

module at https://forge.puppet.com/theforeman/puppet?src=slack&channel=puppet

anyone else get spammed with

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet_forge/v3/base.rb:59: warning: deprecated Object#=~ is called on URI::HTTPS; it always returns nil

when runing r10k deploy environment --puppetfile

are you on an older r10k/puppet_forge version?

this is a combination of older gems and newer ruby. I think that was fixed in recent r10k
