Hi Patrick,

Without modifying r10k, you could generate the Puppetfile from data in
your database. Keeping the information in a file under revision control
buys you all the nice things related to using a VCS. What is the
motivation of using a database backend? I'm curious as to the problems
you encounter using the normal method of storing your Puppetfile in a
git repo.

Best regards,

[Puppet Users] r10k database backend

[Patrick Lesher]

Has anyone thought about or tried to have r10k run against a mysql backend 
to populate at least the information the puppetfile gives?

Updating each puppetfile for a large number of “Environments” can be 
burdonsome when we have to update the version on a number of modules.  We 
already have all of our hiera data in a mysql backend and would like to try 
to simplify some processes.

Thanks,
Patrick
