Introduction

This is my setup for developing on puppet.

Requirements

• Vagrant

Usage

Puppet

Running puppet is done by a shell script. This allows me to perform some basic changes to the box before provisioning with puppet. Installing extra packages for example that are not present on the basebox.

As you will notice, the module dirs are split out in upstream/internal/dev. This should be pretty self-explaining.

The complete puppet tree is in a subfolder puppet which gets copied to the box so puppet can run from it's default dir /etc/puppet. We ran into trouble with the (puppet) file function once which is the main reason for implenting it this way. We no longer use 'file()' but the method stuck.

On each puppet run, we also create a dependency graph. They are stored in the graphs folder. This is especially useful for debugging dependencies.

Additional Packages

If a directory ./packages/centos exists, each rpm in this directory will be installed if the guest operating system uses yum. The same goes for ./packages/debian if your system has dpkg installed.

If a directory ./packages/<fqdn> exists, packages inside this folder will also be installed.
