[Puppet Users] poor mans puppet, can puppet work with a offline puppetmaster?
Could I use my local laptop as a puppet master, and only start up the puppetmaster when I have a change I want to send over to the nodes? Say I only have 1 server, and I don''t want or even need a puppetmaster running all the time. Is this or something close to this type of setup possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Put all your manifests in version control, get your nodes to check that out periodically, and run it manually: puppet apply --verbose --modulepath=/path/to/modules /path/to/site.pp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
