Re: [Puppet Users] Deploying puppet with puppet, best practices

2011-04-06 Thread Denmat
We use cobbler for client installs and that works well for our centos servers, 
foreman can handle more distributions.

As for installing the client software itself, we use a custom RPM package that 
is installed at build time or anytime after.

We are still building out our manifests so we are tackling one service at a 
time on each node type.

Cheers,

[Puppet Users] Deploying puppet with puppet, best practices

2011-04-06 Thread Forrie
Our shop is newly adopting puppet.   Our number of nodes is growing
and my installation method is thus far manual and tedious.   This will
change when/if we migrate to Puppet Enterprise.

My question is what's a best practice for managing puppet
installations on client nodes?   Is it possible to separate out the
client portion of the install from the server or is that now fully
integrated?

The puppet.conf file could be templated for distribution.

Thanks for any tips, etc.
