I am using puppet in standalone mode (puppet apply) to test manifests that I also use in a client/server configuration. I have everything working as far as files included in modules. I can reference file source as "puppet:///modules/modulename/path/to/file". However, some files are not part of a module, so for the client/server portion, I just set up a share called files. However, references to these files "puppet://files/path/to/files" don''t work in standalone mode. I understand that standalone mode (puppet apply) command can find the module files because you tell it the path to look in (--modulepath argument). Why is there no argument for adding file shares (--fileserver=files:/path/to/files)? Is there another way to achieve this? My workaround for now is to simply move the files to a module named files and reference them as "puppet:///modules/files/path/to/file", but it seems like there might be a better solution.

URIs in the source parameter. Cheers, Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

It''s still masterless for compilation purposes, but uses a master for file serving. -- Brice Figureau Follow the latest Puppet Community evolutions on www.planetpuppet.org! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Fileserver in standalone mode.
I did stumble on that doc previously. And we do in fact have that working with our puppet master. However, that does not work with puppet standalone as far as I can tell.
