Although The Foreman  certainly serves as a 
front-end to Puppet, it's scope is broader than that, and it is not the 
only front-end available.  You can certainly do worse than to use The 
Foreman, but it's not right to characterize it as the singular web front 
end for open-source Puppet, nor as only a Puppet front end.

[evan . hisey]

The community version use a different web frontend, namely foreman. Foreman 
had some pretty good getting started with puppet docs also. 

If you are up to having a client check in, showing up in Radiator, and able 
to trigger remote runs then you are in to writing classes and modules, and 
using puppetforge which is the same for both at the command line. And 
honestly, I am leaning to saying that is way easier than doing it with the 
gui.

[Garrett Guillotte]

John, is there a reason you're going with Puppet 3 over Puppet 4? They're 
both open source, both compatible with EL 6, and Puppet 4 has the OS X 
10.10 support you'll need.

[John Oliver]

Thanks, Morgan!  No, I had not thought to look under puppet 4.3 to find 
puppet 3.8 docs :-P

I have been working through the learning VM, and it has a GUI and has you 
install graphite.  Do those things exist with open-source puppet?

Once I get going, it's very possible that we'll want to go with PE, but 
procuring stuff is a real headache, which is why I'm starting with the 
open-source project.  being limited to 10 nodes would quickly kill any 
possibility of selling this to our management :-/

John,

Have you checked out
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.3/reference/quick_start.html? That
should all work with open source as far as I know.

That VM uses PE, not open source.  This is the EXACT problem I'm having 
with the docs... everything is geared towards the commercial product.

[Puppet Users] Puppet 101: How to make it go?

[John Oliver]

I downloaded and installed the open-source puppet on a CentOS 6 virtual 
machine.  I downloaded and installed the client on a Mac OS X 10.10

So... how do I make it do something?

The docs on the puppet site are pretty useless for this... the docs for 
open source wind up looping back to refer to the enterprise product, and 
they go into great detail about installing, and then about all these 
wonderful things you can do, but not a single word about how to do a "Hello 
World!" and just see one client checking in.
