03/06/2023, 5:26 PMSeems like its just not finding the file within my repo.. i wonder if its possible to provide a git path?
c
csharpsteen
03/06/2023, 5:42 PMHmm, is that
zabbix.repoj
Joseph Cove
03/06/2023, 5:44 PMI added it afterwards to that module path under files. Yes it should be deployed by code manager, If I understand you correctly.

another error from that log
Joseph Cove
03/06/2023, 5:44 PMI have since tried to change the file name to see if that helps btw..

/puppet/v3/static_file✅ 1

03/06/2023, 5:48 PMSmaller files can be distributed through the Puppet Server using custom mount point. Larger files should be served from a dedicated file server or artifact service.

03/06/2023, 5:49 PMOK that makes sense, I am still fairly new to puppet.. how exactly can i ensure I have that custom mount point setup right, any chance you could point me in the right direction please?
Joseph Cove
03/06/2023, 5:51 PMfrom what i am reading though, I should in theory be able to serve this file from inside that module?

03/06/2023, 5:52 PMDocs for custom mounts can be found here: https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/file_serving.html
You can serve files from inside the modules, but when Code Manager is enabled all environment content must be deployed through Code Manager.

03/06/2023, 5:53 PMFile Serving visibility aside, the next code deployment can remove untracked content.

03/06/2023, 5:55 PMThanks Sharp, I will give this a try tomorrow and see if I get a bit further, appreciate your help and advice

03/06/2023, 6:04 PM👍 And, keep file size in mind. The Puppet Server was designed to distribute a handful of small files --- like short configuration items or keypairs that are a dozen or so kB at most. Large binary blobs, like installation packages or database content, should be handed off to something that specializes in file serving.
Code Manager doesn't do well with large binary blobs because they can be difficult to track in Git without special handling and custom mounts bump into Puppet Server's lack of optimizations like using
sendfile()
