Thanks in advance for your advice. I'm a beginner running puppet on 1 server running Debian Wheezy following along with the Learning docs.
Is this configuration what is referred to "masterless"? If so, it seems "agent less" would make more sense to me, I'm just curious if I understand the terminology correctly. In this setup, do I need to use agent? I've managed to install some modules from Puppet forge, eg., puppetlabs-mysql … and see they have gone to /etc/puppet/ - are these meant to be overridden by copies I put in to my local configuration? Specifically, the blank init.pp? Or, should I just make changes to the one in the module folder? I'm immediately wanting to put my changes into revision control. Would I be better off cloning or forking existing modules on Github, e.g. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mysql in this case? When should I put something into site.pp vs a module's init.pp (that I forked/modified), vs some custom file location? Ultimately I want to manage a LAMP environment in EC2. Where in the puppetlabs/mysql module is the version number of the server defined? Same question for puppetlabs/apache and PHP with the extensions I need, e.g. mcrypt, memcache, etc. I've installed LAMP stack software so many times, I know how I would do it manually, but I'm having trouble understanding where versions and dependencies get defined for a puppet-managed install of these softwares. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
