Thanks @bastelfreak good linke. so something like this:

http_proxy_host = proxy.example.vlan
http_proxy_port = 8080

But whats the pe.conf ? To configure agents to communicate through a proxy using

pe.conf

, specify values for the

http_proxy_host

and

http_proxy_port

settings in

/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf

.

ignore tue pe.conf. you dont use Puppet enterprise. As I said, place it in the puppet.conf

Okay that was importatn for me, I was searching for pe.conf :D

Might need a more flexible compliance framework https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-nfs

If I have a puppetdb within my environment and the puppetdb goes down is there any way to have the compiler / agents run puppet without throwing errors until the puppetdb gets back up? Any configuration setting I can apply?

yes :) https://puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/7/puppetdb_connection.html#soft-write-failure

for the puppetdb.conf on the puppetserver

but if you use exported resources you dont want that

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

puppet people, seems some mishap in version number

$ brew info puppet-agent-6
puppet-agent-6: 6.27.1
$ puppet --version
6.27.0

Sometimes the

puppet-agent

package is updated without changing the underlying

puppet

version. That can happen when there’s a packaging mistake that needs fixed.

puppet-agent

!=

puppet

since 6.27.1 puppet was released one would expect to see it in the agent, no?

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/tree/6.27.0 There’s no 6.27.1 tag.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that qualifies as 'mishap' 🙂

Yeah, there was a

s/6.27.0/6.27.1/

that got missed. 6.27.1 is the latest, 6.27.0 was not released due to upstream CVEs that came out after that build finished packaging.

The confusion here comes from the docs referring to the “puppet-agent package” as just “puppet”.

There literally isn’t a version of

puppet

that’s 6.27.1 (at least not yet). That’s just the packaging version.

Right. I think this was one of those situations where the

puppet

code base did not change, but a new package and associated version number were needed to pick up patches to a library that runs underneath

puppet

.

I think it'd be clearer if the docs said we released “Puppet Agent 6.27.1” so it's clearer we’re talking about the package and not the code that lives in the puppetlabs/puppet repo

Also wasn’t there a page somewhere that had a table of the puppet-agent package and everything that was inside of it? Where’d that go?

I think that died with puppet 5, if I am not mistaken, puppet 5 actually said

agent

Ah, this page with “puppet-agent component version numbers” https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.5/about_agent.html#puppet-agent-component-version-numbers

That’s crystal clear… where’d that go for Puppet 6+?
