Puppet users - Feb 2010 - Running multiple instances of a puppetmaster on one server

Hey,

I''ve been trying to figure out how to run multiple puppetmasterd
instances on one machine - perhaps on separate ports. Can anyone
advise me if this is a bad idea, or if not, how to go about doing
this?

I''m trying to maintain puppet on an existing set of machines while
refactoring the same manifests on a new set of machines, so ideally
I''d like entirely separate puppet manifests, modules, and files.

Thanks for any help!

as long as they listen on different ports there won''t be any problem
with it.

Hi Thomas,

It sounds like 
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments 
would work for you without having to run another puppetmasterd, and 
would be simpler.

How''s that?

Basically, you set up a web proxy with your web server of choice to
handle SSL connections, and then you can start as many puppetmasterd
instances as you need.

See one of the following:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrelNginx
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrelPound

Also, see http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetScalability
for info on splitting off the fileserver.  You probably won''t need to
do this if you are running a proxy with multiple puppetmaster
instances though.

Why bother fussing with ports when you can just use another interface?
