Re: [Puppet Users] How can i pass runtime parameters while installing .bin file in puppet?

Hi, Another vote from me for packaging this software, Puppet likes packages and deals with them well. John mentioned FPM, If you haven't checked it out, I can't recommend it enough. I manage quite a few packages internally in my role, and FPM has shaved huge amounts of time off generating them.

Re: [Puppet Users] WebRick role

Re: [Puppet Users] stdlib take almost 14 minutes to sync on CentOS Vagrant VM

My immediate gut feeling on this would be network not Puppet being the issue actually, especially if another client is having success at doing the sync. Its a virt so it could be hypervisor drivers or some other issue, its an old version of the kernel as well - its more likely to happen - although

Ken, Thanks. I agree with your gut feeling, but after running the first round of tests you suggested, I don't think that's it. Bandwidth is good and there are no netstat errors. (Test results at the end of this email.) Actually, I just realized that the Puppet client on the Ubuntu box is ru

Re: [Puppet Users] stdlib take almost 14 minutes to sync on CentOS Vagrant VM

There are two primary bottlenecks for pluginsync: * the md5 sum it needs to do on both ends to compare and see if a resync is needed * the transfer itself If you run puppet a second time, with pluginsync enabled (but this time nothing should be transferred) - how much time does it take compared t

Re: [Puppet Users] stdlib take almost 14 minutes to sync on CentOS Vagrant VM

The second time it runs (with pluginsync enabled), it only pauses at the "Info: Retrieving plugin" notice for a few seconds. So, it sounds like the md5sum is not the bottleneck. The specific setup that I'm using is a pretty beefy Xeon workstation with 24 GB of RAM acting as the puppetmaster fo
