Puppet Community

Ah, that reminds me. We're about to move the `enc` stuff to `trusted['external']` by using the 6.11 feature <https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/configuration.html#trusted-external-command>

But this is only possible because we don't actually rely on the enc to classify nodes.

the sattelite_pe_tools repo is a good example of an ugly terminis that chains into the puppetdb one, really not ideal to use :(

ewoud - oh.  That's not good.  It totally doesn't read like that in those docs :disappointed:

and indeed, what bastelfreak describes is what happens in that module

and PE can assume puppetdb is present, in our upstream we can't

now while you are all here, could I get a review for <https://github.com/voxpupuli/facterdb/pull/256> and feedback on <https://github.com/voxpupuli/facterdb/pull/255> and a review on <https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-catalog_diff/pull/90> :)

and maybe <https://github.com/voxpupuli/voxpupuli.github.io/pull/260>

Approved and commented :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello fine people of Voxpupuli, I've asked this question on /r/puppet a couple of minutes ago, but it couldn't hurt to try here as well:

I believe voxpupuli has a module for generically managing simple pieces of software that "just" need a package installed, a config file set and a service running

so one could use that module instead of writing an entire module for a relatively simple job

we've puppet-system, I'm not sure what it all covers

See the `puppet-system` module at <https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/system?src=slack&amp;channel=voxpupuli>

but I prefer tiny modules. they are easy to write, easy to understand, easy to test and easy to replace and have no dependencies

puppet-system doesn't immediately ring a bell, but I'll check it out, although it seems that is more for managing the entire system instead of one piece of software

for instance, it doesn't (from the looks of it) makes sure that service X is refreshed when file Y is updated

wasn't that camptocamp who had that module?

example42 also has this tinypuppet module that sounds similar

close, example42: <https://forge.puppet.com/modules/example42/tp>

thats what I had in mind, but I am not the biggest fan of this pattern

so better that people reuse it instead of reinventing it in a different module :)

I kind of like what we did with simp/deferred_resources =&gt; Manage this thing if, and only if, it is not otherwise managed. Allow enhancements as an option and/or fail on conflicts.

See the `simp-deferred_resources` module at <https://forge.puppet.com/simp/deferred_resources?src=slack&amp;channel=voxpupuli>
