Hi yalls,
Analytics will soon be working on a kraken labs project. We'd like to
have a few nodes there, probably starting with 5, but possibly up to
10ish.
Is it possible/allowed to set up self-hosted puppetmaster on a single
one of these nodes, and have the other puppet clients point at it?
It may be possible, but would likely be quite a mess. Ordinarily you
would develop your changes on a single instance and get them reviewed
and merged before applying to other instances.
If there's a complicated reason why that won't work (for example, you
need to test them on multiple nodes before you regard them as correct
enough to merge) then here's the hacky method I would recommend:
1) Install puppetmaster::self on all nodes
2) Commit your in-testing patch to gerrit, but mark it as a 'work in
progress' in review so that reviewers know to ignore it
3) Use the cherry-pick gizmo in gerrit to cherry-pick the patch onto
other nodes
4) test
5) go to step 2
I use that process pretty frequently; it's not as big of a pain as it
sounds. Ryan can probably set you up with a spiffy one-step salt
command to perform step 3 on many nodes at once. I don't know the
syntax for this offhand.
