Thanks Alex! I have some messy execs to handle updating software from a bit bucket repository (amongst other things). I take it that would be a good candidate for Bolt. > On 8/01/2019, at 6:03 AM, Alex Dreyer <a...@puppet.com> wrote: > > > > On Sat, Jan 5, 2019 at 6:04 PM Russell Fulton <russell.ful...@gmail.com> > wrote: > Hi > > I have not come across Bolt before and have been looking at the docs.

So yo get things going independent of Puppet and then integrate it. Sounds sensible. I am trying hard to get all the configuration stuff in just one place to make it easier for others to maintain so ultimately I want to drive it all out of heira data which is generated by a ruby script from a bunch of json files. The system is a multi sensor IDS system running Suricata and Moloch (and the associated Elasticsearch machines). I am using the organisation (major university) puppet server which I have no direct access to and one (horribly bloated) module that gets loaded for my machines. We really should have the enterprise version but costs more that folk are prepared to pay.
