There are a couple things that we know that it can't do: * Because of JRuby, most gems with native extensions won't work. This should only affect you if you are using custom functions that use ruby code that ties into native extensions ( https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/C-Extension-Alternatives) * The puppet-server expects to be the SSL terminator. If you are running something in front of your master that terminates SSL and forwards headers on to the master, then the puppet-server won't work. I believe Chris knows about this and is working on it. Other than that, puppet-server should be complete. It actually runs and passes all of the same system tests that we run against the webrick and passenger setups. Chris can correct me if there are any other things that he knows about. I think he is also working on a blog post and so maybe he'll address some of these questions in that. > Is there some documentation about that somewhere?
