    i'm a little confused because the README and REFERENCE show examples where the public_key is explicitly passed, i would have expect that to be somewhat automated
  • v
    bastelfreak: oh really
  • v
    how do you do that!
  • v
  • v
    that's probably the public key from the peer
  • v
    but you can also generate the key somewhere else and pass it to the module I think
  • v
    but if you don't pass anything, it will be generated
  • v
    wow, thanks!
  • v
    the network setup might be a bit opiniated. I use this to generate tunnels and run BGP across it to announce routes
  • v
    if it doesn't suit your needs, just send me a PR
  • v
    okay, i might just do that
  • v
    i'm still a little confused about the public_key thing
  • v
    like if the key is autogenerated, why isn't it passed automatically there
  • v
    you have it in a fact, why can't it just be reused?
  • v
    maybe i need to play with it to figure it out
  • v
    ewoud: can I bother you again with https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-vault/actions/runs/3346138828/jobs/5542575027 ? I'm not sure why I get all the `undefined method 
    parameters' for nil:NilClass
  • v
    # @param public_key base64 encoded pubkey from the remote peer
  • v
    anarcat: that's for the peer. but you can pass the local private key if you don't want puppet to generate it locally
  • v
  • v
    bastelfreak: probably because the resource is not in the catalog
  • v
    ah :D
  • v
  • v
    well
  • v
    it's doing nil.send(:parameters)
  • v
    bastelfreak: would it make sense to use exported resources to have peers export themselves to each other?
  • v
    i gues it depends on the network topology here...
  • v
    anarcat: I thought about it. but you can already use a PQL query to get the fact with the public key from all other nodes
  • v
    the module will export local pubkeys
  • v
  • v
    ewoud: ah thanks
