I'm just starting out with puppet, and I have a basic handle on it.
What I've been tasked to do is to be able to push files from a git
repo to Windows servers. The servers themselves will have no internet
access, so installing cygwin & git on the agents is not an option. What
I'd like to do is create a manifest that clones the repo locally, then
copies that directory to the Windows client. I have vscrepo working, I
just need to know how to pull the repo, save the files to the puppet
master server, then copy that directory to the agent when it connects.
Depending on your requirements to fidelity and coding skill, the tow
options coming two my mind are cronjob on the master or puppet function.
The cronjob on the master (or an equivalent vcsrepo resource in its
configuration) would take care that the repo is (relatively) up-to-date.
The agent would only recursively copy the result down to the nodes.
Upside: very easy to do. Downside: git repo might not be up-to-date,
race conditions while updating.
The puppet function could do the cloning in a temporary directory and
put all required files as finished resources into the catalog (ala
create_resource). That will bloat the catalog mightily but the clone
will be fresh and consistent.
