Hello all, I am sure that many of my questions may be answered in other topics or into the documentation but I can not clear my mind about how to perform some tasks that I want to accomplish.
To get you into context, I have been developing some puppet configuration files that deal with deployment of our company systems and its dependencies. Those environments obviously require an underlying infrastructure (a tomcat, glassfish or oracle) that is installed and provided by puppet. In order to accomplish that we did choose to take advantage of our nexus server to provide our binaries to puppet and use its hierarchy. We developed some ruby functions placed at lib folder that download those files and leave them at a specific location of our machine (we did choose ruby in order to get a platform independent download strategy). This worked flawlessly when we were working through puppet apply mode (our virtual machines were provided by Virtual Box and Vagrant) since the agent was some kind of server-agent and could perform all actions by itself. Recently I have been moving forward a puppet master (there are a lot of distribution issues in stand-alone agents) that would serve catalogs and several agents that could be located at either physical or virtual machines (cloud if possible). With this change I have found that, as documentation says, functions are executed at master computer so the files that I need are downloaded at the master... How can I solve this and at the same time not break stand-alone provisioning? I have been looking at fileserve.conf in order to fix a specific folder (I would have to work out how to set that folder at either Windows and Linux) file serving but I do not know if there is a better solution... Does puppet provide a best practice for this? An automagically mounted file provider (like the one of the folder files at modules).
