    Task is not that hard, but first you need to learn puppet. You *have
    to*
    go through all the documentation online, and try examples, become aware
    of the differences between resources, variables, modules...

    The time consumed for all these tasks will depend hugely on how fast of
    a learner are you and do you have anyone at hand who can show you
    basics. Puppet is as simple as it can be, for the task it's designed
    for, but nevertheless you have to invest some time in it.

    So your starting point should be:

    http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/
    <http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/>

    Go through sections:

    Resources and the RAL
    Variables, Conditionals, and Facts
    Modules and Classes (Part One)
    Templates


    After that test your configurations on a dev system. Test test test.
    Try
    and make error, then retry and fail again.


    Also note that if you continue to use puppet, you will probably
    re-write
    your manifests and classes couple of times along the way in the first 6
    months of using it.

    If you want to do a one-time-task, and don't intend to use puppet
    extensively in the future, then I recommend writing a shell script :)



    And to address your main issue, installig pgadmin should be easy. If
    you
    don't plan to do some fancy stuff it will come down to this (on CentOS
    for example):

    package {'httpd':
         ensure => present
    }
    service {'httpd':
         ensure  => running,
         enable  => true,
         require => Package['httpd'],
    }
    package {'phppgadmin':
         ensure => present,
    }
    package {'phpPgAdmin':
         ensure => present,
         notify => Service['httpd'],
    }


    And that's about it. But beware, you must have an idea about what are
    you doing, because sooner or later it *will* byte you in the ass. So
    please, don't even think about skipping the learning curve.

I already have a starting point which is this vagrant setup:
https://github.com/amaia/rails-starter-box

Postgres is already included, I just have to figure out how to include
phppgadmin in it.

I guess I have to read now :)

Yeah because you won't be able to use other people's classes if you don't understand what are they doing...

For example:



Thank you a lot for your help!
