I would check the changelog for facter 4, I assume it got implemented there

(also I suggest to update to puppet 7)

we're on PE, so we keep the client tied to the PE server

oh noes

the PE notes says that Rocky 8 is supported

you might be able to use facterng

puppet 6.26 should recognize Rocky

# puppet --version
6.26.0
# facter --version
3.14.22 (commit 4d4afa91b226dfa8d2f92c495b7070377134386f)
# facter os
{
  architecture => "x86_64",
  family => "RedHat",
  hardware => "x86_64",
  name => "Rocky",
  release => {
    full => "8.5",
    major => "8",
    minor => "5"
  },
  selinux => {
    config_mode => "enforcing",
    config_policy => "targeted",
    current_mode => "enforcing",
    enabled => true,
    enforced => true,
    policy_version => "33"
  }
}

I found it in facterdb too, I need to look to see if we've done something odd in our puppet code base

Hi there, Do you know if there is puppet agent package available for Ubuntu 22.04LTS ?

@Yorokobi Thanks. But I cannot find anything related to Jammy distribution there

Yep.

@Yorokobi Is there a workaround for having puppet agent on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ?

I don't know if there's anything official but my work around is to not use 22.04 for another 4-6 months.

@Yorokobi I see 😅

Thanks anyway

That’s really good advice for any production workloads.

About puppet support for Ubuntu 22.04 see https://puppetcommunity.slack.com/archives/CFD8Z9A4T/p1650996299203469

Hello, I have upgraded our puppet 4 stack running on freebsd 12 to puppet 6. I have the stack working correctly and able to push MOTD config. I then preceded to run r10k to push in place our code base. Unfortunately, the code breaks. I was able to fix the first error by installing the sshkeys_core module. The next complaint in the puppet agent run was as followed... Unknown resource type: 'cron'. I went and installed the cron module, however that did not change the outcome of the puppet agent run. I see in the documentation that the module we used in pupet 4 was pushed out to the client in puppet6. I am not sure what that means or what code/config changes need to take place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you'll need this module

Likely you will want all of the _core modules from puppetlabs

yeah probably

meh, there are some obscure ones no one uses 🙂

zfs_core, for instance

we actually use that one lol

LOL
