[Puppet Users] Can''t find good tutorial/how-to
Ok, I''m very new to puppet, I have a pretty good idea of what it can do for me. I''ve got a basic install done and added a couple of test hosts. Here''s where I can''t seem to find documentation to get moving forward. One of my hosts is ok the other is getting errors. I don''t recall doing anything differently on one versus the other so at this point I''m not even sure either is set up right. I''d like to find a tutorial or how-to that will get me pointed in the right direction. Everything I''ve found so far seems to be geared toward the admin that already has some experience at getting puppet up and running. Anyone have a good resource to get me started. (At this point I''m not even sure I can ask a well formed question about using/configuring puppet.) :) -- Stephen Berg Systems Administrator NRL Code: 7320 Office: 228-688-5738 stephen.berg.ctr@nrlssc.navy.mil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

That was a dick move, Dan. Dick. Move. ;-p Not only are you hiding your vileness in an obfuscation (steering all innocent list readers into your trap), but to add insult to injury, your (arguably) annoying signature is larger in volume than the affront itself. No cookie.

To keep on topic though, I think what Dan was trying to say in his own cheeky way was to check out the Learning Puppet tutorials and start there: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/. It provides a VM to download and some lessons to walk through that should get you sorted out on the basics. Once you''ve moved beyond those lessons or you start to struggle, come back to the list and ask your specific questions. Puppet Labs also offers formal training if that is desirable. ken. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I recommend picking up copies of the new Puppet and Puppet Cookbook books at www.amazon.com and stay current with each version. As well, they say there are about 6000 pages of Puppet documentation at the company website...

We don''t moderate every message. Dan and I have discussed this offline, it was a joke done with bad form and as you can see he has made a formal apology, and I''m happy where this is right now. It doesn''t have to become a bigger issue IMHO. ken.

Me too. My off-list response to Dan was spam-filtered apparently. Anyhow, while I stand by the expressed sentiment, I should have delivered it with more tact. Apologies for the language and demeanor.

I took the Puppet Fundamentals class a few months ago in Portland at Puppet Labs and it was great. I definitely recommend it. I already was using Puppet some in my day job but it gave me a lot more context. The instructor was very well qualified and was fielding some pretty advanced questions, he had years of experience working with the tool. And the second edition of Pro Puppet looks to be pretty good, I''m just a few chapters in. Rich On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 8:15 AM, Ken Barber <ken@puppetlabs.com> wrote:> > That was a dick move, Dan.
