Background: The puppetmasters are under the authority and control of a specific group (not mine ;-) ). Client sysadmins have control over the node manifests and, to a certain extent, can modify the puppet modules.
One of the modules (and potentially others) used by my group uses a lot of files that may get changed frequently. Rather than embedding them in the module' files/ tree, I would like to set up one of our group's clients as a fileserver and have the module reference them from there rather than from the default location (the puppetmaster). One major advantage to doing this is that we could update the files directly, using whatever mechanism suits our purposes best, as opposed to treating updates as a change to the module and having to update the module itself. So far I have found absolutely *no* documentation on how to set up a client to function as a fileserver. To experiment, I updated the fileserver.conf and auth.conf on the fileserver-to-be client, and put some files into it by hand. I made sure that the agent was listening for requests. I then tried playing with it through the REST API: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_api.html Attempts to fetch a file (using http://$CLIENT:8139/$ENV/file_contents/...) resulted in: No specified acceptable formats (*/*) are functional on this machine Changing the Accept: request header field just resulted in the '*/*' in the message changing to match. Can anyone point me to documentation on how a client can be set up as a fileserver, and what needs to be done to make the files servable? (Presumably just putting them in place is insufficient; some sort of metadata probably need to be[re]built, is my guess.)
