why do you generate a bash script? what is it used for?

There is a separate network monitoring tool and that is the only way to configure it

I need to create a file that lists all the vlans and whether they are present on the current machine - if they are present on the machine, that is easy because I already have my facts, but I am looking for how to do the first part.

I am having problems with PDK. on PDK v2.5, it's installing the rainbow 2.2.2 gem without native extensions. on PDK v2.7.1, it's installing rainbow 2.2.2 gem WITH native extensions. because I am running PDK on windows, native extensions are not supported. I am not sure how to disable this native extension or what the right fix for this is?

Does anyone know if the docker images are updates with puppetserver 8 anytime soon?

letsplay 🧑‍🏫Puppet Forge is about to start up in #CFD8Z9A4T

Does anyone use any of the puppet forge modules for Duo?

g'day mates! 🙂 I'm wondering what your thoughts are about a situation where puppet nodes are running in a highly secure environment, only reachable via puppet. No ssh, no access at all, to the node once it's at a customers site. What might I want to consider from a puppet perspective? Case in point - a puppet node was in the middle of installing packages and the nodes internet dropped. Now there is hung 'pkg' process and the puppet client will keep failing forever until a carbon based life form gets in there to do something. I could make a script to just reboot the machine as a cure for one-offs like this I guess. Or make specific scripts for every scenario imaginable.

pxp-agent for PE or choria for open source, it will be your alternative access

Long story short, you cannot solve this problem with just puppet. You will have to use some other tooling or wrappers around Puppet to handle those kinds of edge cases.

If you're allowed to run an orchestration tool like Choria, that'd be super helpful. But I'm not sure if the environment would allow having the kind of persistent websocket connection or reverse connection open for tools like that.

Thanks guys! Yea, absolutely zero access coming in from the interwebs. A challenge for sure.

I've seen remote workstation management with Puppet done well, and in all those cases there was a custom wrapper around running Puppet. It was never just "turn on the Puppet daemon and hope for the best".

will likely make a kind of gui/cmds for a customer to run locally to do some basic things

another thought I had was to give the customer the ability to wipe the nodes certs and request a new cert. that happens from time to time too

and updating the OS too..that one will certainly bring pain

this is where bolt would shine, but with absence of ssh it's going to be challenging.

Hi all - Puppet n00b here 🙂

For this code:

$web_prereqs = [ 'mod_ssl', 'php', 'php-mbstring', 'php-xml', 'php-json' ]

  package { 'httpd': }
  package { $web_prereqs:
    require => Package['httpd'],
    notify  => Package['httpd'],
  }

I end up getting:

Error: Found 1 dependency cycle:
(Package[httpd] => Package[mod_ssl] => Package[httpd])\nTry the '--graph' option and opening the resulting '.dot' file in OmniGraffle or GraphViz
Error: Failed to apply catalog: One or more resource dependency cycles detected in graph
