Yeah, I didn't really want to hear that =/. I love puppet (coming from ansible) because it's amazingly expressive. Forcing me to standardize on a 'site' module makes everything a little less expressive IMO. And I get the feeling that the reasoning behind forcing everything to modules is just to keep the code base a /tiny/ bit simpler. > I second that!

I keep my stuff in $confdir/modules and upstream stuff from the forge in $confdir/.modules. I have a file .puppet-modules which lists the upstream modules and a git post-receive hook on my master for installing/upgrading modules in .modules. > I have this in my [master] (puppet 3.4) : > > manifest = $confdir/environments/$environment/manifests/site.pp I don't know about 3.4, but in 3.5 and 3.6 you don't need site.pp, just point to the manifests directory itself. Furthermore, I think that's the default anyway, so no need to specify it. > modulepath = > $confdir/environments/$environment/modules:$confdir/environments/$environment/site > > With r10k and git branch mapping to $environment, with the "site" > modules managed inside git alongside the Puppetfile, you'll never look > back :-) > > With these tools, hiera and/or an ENC, nowadays it's very easy to have > an empty site.pp and no (or empty) node blocks.
