Hi,

I'm currently using puppet with the buildin server for testing on a few nodes (~5). But in the future my installation will be bigger. It will have about 110 nodes of our compute cluster and maybe some additional servers (~20). Currently I don't use very complicated manifests and want to manage only a few config files, nfs mounts and the list of installed packages.

But maybe this list will grow with my love for puppet.
Should I already plan on using a different server? What would you recommend?
I will be using apache on one headnode anyway for ganglia & nagios.
Should I also move puppet to apache? How complicated is this?
I'm not familar with Ruby or Rails.

Btw. any suggestions for my bootstrapping install of puppet on Ubuntu? Here is my procedure:

1. minimal Ubuntu install using pxeboot with preseed file (from web-URL)
2. some postinstall config:
   - install facter and puppet from gems (loaded from web server)
   - install pre-created certs           (loaded from web server)
   - edit /etc/hosts to make puppet server known
3. start puppet for remaining configuration:
   - additional packages
   - nfsmount ...

regards, Andreas
