will it still require

/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test

?

$codedir is

/etc/puppetlabs/code/

so yes, if you want to use an environment that isn't production, you'll need to create the test directory (cp -a production test)

so, with environments, the way it works is that /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments is a base directory

the environment name is joined to it

Did you add a “test” branch to your control_repo?

is it possible to update the base directory ?

(if you’re doing 1:1, that is)

$codedir/environments

is a base directory, individual environments are subdirectories of that.

to what?

I would leave it as-is

If you're not using r10k and git repos to manage environments:

cp -a /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test

and try again

And if you are (and you should) follow this: https://www.puppet.com/docs/pe/2023.6/control_repo.html

control repo + r10k + roles and profiles are all highly recommended

g10k++

g10k +1! (Karma: 1)

10,000 killer goobers just doesn’t have the same ring

There's no issue doing something different, but if you are new to puppet there's some benefit to sticking with the defaults here as, unlike some vendors, puppet has pretty good defaults.

COMPLY COMPLY COMPLY (not the product, the ethos)

I would probably take this line out though, as it will effectively look in the production branch regardless of what branch you specify

default_manifest = $codedir/environments/production/manifests

the other stanzas seem to either repeat defaults or extend them, no harm in them.

Appreciate all the responses … Saw there was a option to override so thought of giving it a try. The reason for it was we clone our modules and classes in /opt directory. So didn’t want to manage the site.pp separately in a different folder so that everything can be managed in a single repo. Anyways thanks folks … will try things out 👍

speaking of

fpm

, there is

nfpm

also, which is

fpm

re-written in Go: https://github.com/goreleaser/nfpm

Oh? Now I have to look

@Shawn D'Souza you may be interested in placing /environment.conf in your controlrepo, that allows each branch to override some things from the branch, rather than the puppetserver config. See https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/config_file_environment.html

I try like heck to leve my puppet.conf alone, and IF I have to change it, I change it with the module.

yeah, client side environment is about the only thing we touch beyond server/ca names since we have regional ones

which even if we just used the default 'puppet' i'd still set it because sometimes people change the search domains, or systemd does it for them lol

Hi everyone ! I have a quite complex application to configure for which I'm creating a Puppet module. I will have to require that the user pass an array of

bucket

, which currently is a simple directory.. I wanted to know if it's possible to somehow ""type"" a small bucket object to use in an array ? Currently :

[
    {"name" => "test", "bucket" => "test"}
]

And I would like something like this :

[
    Bucket {'test': bucket => "test" }
]

Thanks in advance for any help !

hey all. just did a fresh puppet8 install in bookworm and it just will NOT start.

anything I should be aware of?
