[Puppet Users] Looking for help for Puppet community stand at FOSDEM
Hi all, Last week I put in a last minute request for a Puppet community booth at the upcoming FOSDEM conference in Brussels on Feb 2nd&3rd. I received confirmation that it was approved, but I'm waiting for more details. I wanted to ask if there is anyone interested in manning the booth with me? You don't have to be a Puppet expert, just be enthusiastic and we'll work it out. Ideally I wouldn't want to keep anyone there for more then 2 hours at a time, so if we had 6-8 people, that would be perfect. I'll try to be there most of the time myself as well. Note that this is an open source community booth, so it's not a commercial place. We're providing information from the community, to the community. That said, it's a great place to make some new friends and connections :) If you're interested, leave a reply here or email me directly. I'll compile a list (hopefully ;) ) of interested folks and we'll take it from there. Looking forward to seeing you all at FOSDEM! cheers, -- Walter Heck CEO and Founder @ OlinData (http://olindata.com) Puppet training and consulting -- Follow @olindata on Twitter and/or 'Like' our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/olindata -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Scope problem in 2.7.12, bug?
I was playing around with scopes, and I noticed the following
behaviour, which strikes me as odd? This was done with Puppet
Enterprise 2.5.3 which is really Puppet 2.7.12.
I'm not sure what I would expect, quite likely an error message or at
the very least 'mysql-server' package gettign installed. Instead, it
just seems to choose the top-scope variable 'mysql'
$package = 'mysql'
class mysql {
package { $mysql_server::package:
ensure => present
}
}
class mysql_server {
include mysql
$package = 'mysql-server'
}
include mysql_server
This yields:
[root@master test]# puppet apply manifests/init.pp
notice: /Stage[main]/Mysql/Package[mysql]/ensure: created
notice: Finished catalog run in 6.25 seconds
cheers,

[Puppet Users] Params classes and best practices
Hi all, I've been wondering what is considered best practice when it comes to $module_name::params classes? I see for instance the latest versions of the apache and mysql modules from puppetlabs use static variables which cannot be overridden: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mysql/blob/master/manifests/params.pp https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache/blob/master/manifests/params.pp But what if I want to install apache with ssl disabled? I see a few options, all horribly bad: 1) change the params.pp file to set $ssl = false 2) change the module to use either hiera or class parameters which allow setting this configuration flag. 3) In the older days, we used to use a mechanism that allowed for top-scope variables to set a module level variable. This was also messy, but at least it worked: https://github.com/Tribily/puppet-mariadb/blob/master/manifests/params.pp I'd be happy to hear what 'we' consider industry standard. I'm leaning towards class parameters for configuration variables that need to be different from deployment to deployment. cheers, -- Walter Heck CEO and Founder @ OlinData (http://olindata.com) Puppet training and consulting -- Follow @olindata on Twitter and/or 'Like' our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/olindata -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Announce: Puppet Dashboard 1.2.12 Available
May I ask what the future plans are for Puppet Dashboard? Will there be more feature development? I see that 1.2.0 came out August last year. Together with the fact that it seems like new dashboard development is focused on Puppet Enterprise Console, I'm wondering how the Puppet Dashboard fits in the roadmap? The github commit log doesn't show much feature development: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-dashboard/commits/master Would be nice to know wether or not this can be recommended to users looking for an Open Source dashboard. kind regards, Walter On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 8:52 AM, Moses Mendoza wrote: > Puppet Dashboard 1.2.12 is a maintenance and bugfix release of Puppet > Dashboard. > > This release is available for download at: > https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/puppet-dashboard-1.2.12.tar.gz > > Debian packages are available at > https://apt.puppetlabs.com > > RPM packages are available at > https://yum.puppetlabs.com > > See the Verifying Puppet Download section at: > http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Downloading_Puppet > > Please report feedback via the Puppet Labs Redmine site, using an > affected version of 1.2.12: > http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/dashboard > > Documentation is available at: > http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/index.html > > = > ## Puppet Dashboard 1.2.12 Highlights ## > = > > (#16428) more accurate CONTRIBUTING.md > This just updates the docs to indicate what I needed to do to get > tests running. > Modulo any actual inaccuracies, I think having something here is > better than nothing. > If there are simplifications or other fixes to make on top of this, > those can come later. > > Specify the location of the favicon in error pages > Prior to this commit, rendering an error page would itself result > in an error if the > default favicon.ico file is protected by an authentication system > that has a whitelist > of allowed routes. > > == > ## Puppet Dashboard 1.2.12 Changelog ## > == > > Dustin J.
