#puppet

##Overview

Manage the Puppet package state and run Puppet in masterless mode on a regular basis. When changes are applied, a given user can be notified via email.

By default, Puppet will be executed every 30 minutes and logs will be send to syslog. Before running Puppet, the APT package index will be updated.

##Usage

Install puppet and hiera.

class { 'puppet': }

Install a specific version of puppet and hiera:

class { 'puppet':
  puppet_ensure => '3.7.3-1puppetlabs1',
  hiera_ensure  => '1.3.3-1puppetlabs1',
}

Install puppet, hiera and the hiera backend hiera-eyaml:

class { 'puppet':
  hiera_backend_package => 'hiera-eyaml',
  hiera_backend_ensure  => '2.0.0',
}

Notify [email protected] in case changes have been made:

class { 'puppet':
  mail_to => '[email protected]',
}

Run puppet every six hours:

class { 'puppet':
  cron_hour   => '*/6',
  cron_minute => fqdn_rand(60),
}

See the cron type reference for more information about available cron options.

Or turn off the cron job completely

class { 'puppet':
  cron_enable => false,
}

###Development

This project uses rspec-puppet and beaker to ensure the module works as expected and to prevent regressions.

gem install bundler
bundle install --path vendor

bundle exec rake spec
bundle exec rake beaker
