similar to: use client''s server variable instead of $servername?

We have a client-server puppetmaster running puppetd and puppetmasterd, however I would like to test configurations locally before committing the changes on the puppetmaster. Running the puppet config locally with /usr/bin/puppet mostly works. The thing that fails ( which I have commented out on my local copy to test everything else ) is a erb template for puppet.conf that includes:

hi,all I want set up a puppet HA structure. but if the puppetd can set more than one server address ,the work will be simple :D if one puppetmaster have error, the client can auto try the next. I think I can use the heartbeat or dns to do this same thing,but not so good. so I want know the puppetd can direct set in the configure file ? if not,will be add this option? -- Huang

Hi, I''m a new puppet user (thanks !) and I''m just looking at moving my homegrown manifest structure into something resembling the best practise guide at : http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetBestPractice. It seems as if the structure here doesn''t map to the default puppet layout (and thus doesn''t work with the standard puppet config

I see the instructions for creating custom facter recipes here: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Adding_Facts and in this thread, James Turnbull suggests that Facter might some day support other languages besides ruby: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8c127ae8898d3bcf/c5ca551b77c4eb67?lnk=gst&q=facter+perl#c5ca551b77c4eb67 He writes:

Hi guys, Unlike what it says in the documentation and the --help output, I can''t seem to get puppetd to use the --server setting. The only way I can get puppetd to work is to include a ''puppet'' alias to the ip of the machine I''m running puppetmasterd on in my hosts file. The strange thing though, is that the logs of my puppetmaster show that it *is* getting

Hi, While at LCA this year I was talking to James Turnbull, and I think he said it was possible to a) pull files off a puppet client to the puppet master b) push those files out to other puppet clients I''ve been reading up on FileBucket and I don''t understand how I can achieve that, or if I''m on the right track. Whats at

Hi all. New puppet developer. Very excited. I have the agents communicating with the puppet master. I''m wondering now about best practice for file and user permissions on the puppet master. Most of my wonder probably stems from general lack of understanding in this area. I''d like to get it right though to avoid refactoring later. 1. What''s the best practice, or your

Does anyone know how to install puppet as client on FreeBSD & OpenBSD. -- Deepak _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users

Hi. I''m a beginner, but I have a basic puppet setup working. I am doing a manual tarball installation and it seems to be hanging then eventually timing out on just downloading the file: file { "/opt/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz": source => "puppet:///hadoop020/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz" } I have another module that does the same things and works, my only guess

I tried to install the ''mongrel'' gem tonight via puppet in an attempt to migrate from webrick to mongrel as described on the puppet site[1]. I added the following to my manifest: package { "rubygems": ensure => installed; "mongrel": ensure => installed, provider => gem, require => Package["rubygems"]; }

I''m trying to write a wrapper definition for the file type to make it a bit smarter. I have a basic version working fairly well: define xfile($owner = root, $group = root, $mode = 644, $source, $backup = main, $recurse = false, $ensure = file) { file { $name: mode => $mode, owner => $owner, group => $group, backup => $backup, recurse

When I navigate to my page using the server IP address, everything works perfectly. When I navigate to the page using servername, everything works fine except for the Ajax calls. I get the error, "This page is accessing information that is not under its control." Apparently this is because servername and IP address are being considered different domains. Does anyone know how I can set

Hello, I recently started deploying puppet on our server farm. It works wonderfully with RHEL4, Gentoo and Debian. I''m looking for a way to determine the state of all nodes. Say for example that I change a file on the puppetmaster which affects 200 nodes. Then I go to lunch. When I get back, I''d like to know which nodes have been updated and which have not. I asked this in

Hi everyone, Here are the manifest I am using: In file ''*modules/test/manifest/init.pp*'': class test ( $test = undef, ) { notice("Here is the message: ${test}") } Now in ''*modules/saas/manifests/client/sudo.pp*'': class saas::client::sudo { class { ''test'': } } Now in ''*manifests/sites.pp*'': import

Hi, I am using a template to create an /etc/exports file. I have a template that looks like this (but results in the puppetmasterd dying on the server when the client updates): <% nfsHomeClients.split.each do |host| -%> /nfs <%= host %>(<%= mainshareoptions %>) <% nfspaths.each do |path| -%> <%= path %> <%= host %>(<%= nfsoptions %>) <% end

I''ve upgraded to puppet v2.6.2 on ubuntu (clients and server) and now I get this error messages related to pluginsync: info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources using ''eval_generate'': wrong header line format err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: wrong header line format Could not retrieve file

This feels like a FAQ and sorry if it is, I failed to find an answer. I''d like some advice on handling backward compatibility between puppetd and puppetmaster. My puppetmaster is at v0.24.5 using Debian Lenny packages. I tried to bring up a puppetd client v0.25.4 (Ubuntu 10.04 packages) but failed to have it download the puppetmaster''s certificate. The puppetd client seemed

Hi, I''m starting to move over to Modules, which looks pretty clean and solid. Reading http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ModuleOrganisation, one thing that confuses me is how the client resolves the implicit file server resources. I''ve got a few different puppet master servers running on different ports, and my configuration re-defines $puppet_master_host and
