Hey guys. I am starting out with puppet and am in the process of writing a bootstrap script for the clients and a capistrano recipe for the server. I have the client bootstrap done which installs ruby, puppet, sets a host name, and then points the client at the puppet server and now I am in the process of setting up the puppet server.
My first attempt was to set up a git project for puppet, an admin user on the server and then use capistrano to deploy my puppet config and all manifests into a directory in the admin users home. Basically this would be the contents of the /etc/puppet directory. The idea was that I would deploy to /home/admin_user/infrastructure and then symlink that directory or /etc/puppet. This didn't work because puppet blows away the symlink and sets up a blank directory in /etc/puppet. So I am wondering what to do next. Some options... 1. I could use rsync after deploy to copy the contents to /etc/puppet but I noticed that the manifests directory are owned by the user puppet so I don't know how well that would work. 2. I could manually set up a /etc/puppet/puppet.conf which points to the manifests in the /home/admin directory and manage the puppet conf with puppet. 3. I could use something other than capistrano. I am familiar with capistrano so I would prefer to stay with it but I am willing to learn something else if it would be better. I also have a question as to whether the ssl directory should be managed by puppet itself or me. I kind of presumed everything in /etc/puppet would be managed by me and everything in /var/lib/puppet would be managed by puppet is that right? So does anybody have a nice capistrano config.rb for puppet? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
