ERB method for calling Puppet functions: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/lang_template_erb.html#puppet_functions_templates (URL updated to latest)

I authored an alternate tool that has been working for a decade. My original belief in 2010ish was that I should have a triangle pattern between actors involving 1 directional flows. user pushes to git, tool pulls from git. trigger should not originate from git, and instead should be polled. I'd be up for migrating, but want to maintain using internal clones of upstream repos that are submodules (no internet), and a monolithic repo design.

my previous colleague and i battle tested it through 6 versions of puppet w/o a glitch. [its open source, fwiw]

r10k works in the same pattern, it pulls the code

you don't have to use any automatic hooks, if you don't want to

r10k can also refresh your changed environments, since

environment_timeout = unlimited

is something that should be used

goodnews 🧑‍🏫Puppet Core Team is about to start up in #CFD8Z9A4T

thats fine. i am looking at the r10k stuff, and its not clear to me yet, how to set it up inside a container to stage the repo. I am trying to grok the control repo being the only repo and def dont want hiera in a separate. i might want to do away with my git submodules but i want to se how this works first. docs are all over the place.

I found a false negative. I'm using this one: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-lvm/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/logical_volume.rb But the tool is saying that I'm not using LVM.

You’re much more trusting of storage than I am. I have everything in revision control which is both backed up and snapshotted. Given the type of scale I typically work with, my Puppet cluster can contain 6 or more nodes (N+1 compilers as load increases), so that sort of dictates architecture especially for PE Gary talks about it here: The module puppet-r10k sets up r10k. https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppet/r10k I have some basic shell scripts like this showing a manual BASH process: https://github.com/cvquesty/c7_po5.5/blob/master/provision/master.sh#L76-L88 which I developed from (read flat out stole) from Gary here: http://garylarizza.com/blog/2014/02/18/puppet-workflow-part-3/ (The section “setting up r10k”)

Puppet's marketing team have really stepped up the email campaigns.

We used Kea two companies ago to do large datacenter DHCP with a number of local modifications. Worked well, easy to do mods. Admittedly second person listed in thhat blog post worked at our company and did the work. ymmv.

Well, technically the code that runs is a Ruby class called

Puppet::Generate::Type

. The only user interface for that at the moment is the

generate types

face https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/main/lib/puppet/face/generate.rb In theory, that class could be called by anything, not just the

puppet generate types

command.

Hi team!😃 I have a question about certname generation on the agent side. Am I in the good channel?

just ask 🙂

Is there a way to change how puppet agent computes its certname? Documentation says "defauts to the fully qualified domain name". I'd like to use shortname as $Fact["networking]["hostname"].
