Hi David,
It sounds like you've done a fair bit of work in that you've written
functions to get "puppet apply" to work for you. Have you read much
about Puppet modules and native Puppet file serving? Something like this
example dns module with a file system layout like:
--------------
/etc/puppet/modules/dns/files/resolv.conf
/etc/puppet/modules/dns/manifests/init.pp
--------------
And a class definition like:
--------------
$ cat /etc/puppet/modules/dns/manifests/init.pp:
class dns {
file { '/etc/resolv.conf':
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
source => 'puppet:///modules/${module_name}/resolv.conf',
}
}
--------------
You can look at serving files from Puppet from an arbitrary directory
using fileserve.conf, but a lot of people prefer a more service oriented
approach: all your DNS files and puppet config in a dns module, all your
Glassfish stuff in a glassfish module, etc.

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).
Thanks.
