[Puppet Users] puppetlabs/puppetdb module when using passenger for master

[Puppet Users] Re: Version Controlling Puppet Configs with svn

edit puppet code and make sure that you edit puppet code and commit to Git using your regular user account, not as root. This setup has been working fine for us. I also setup 3 Puppet environments in this way (for dev, QA and prod) and propagate code between environments with SVN. — Pete

/checkouts without becoming root. If you don’t have other users editing puppet files this method may not be necessary. Also, yes I do manage all the puppet directories this way, both /etc/puppetlabs/puppet and /opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules — Pete On Oct 30, 2013, at 6:47 PM, Hyunil S

Re: [Puppet Users] hiera suggestion

My question would be what are you doing with nagios that need so much static data? My monitoring module uses facts and one or two static vars. I would suggest putting defaults in your modules so you don't need to set so many variables. Basing those defaults of custom facts would help reduce your n
