I've expanded the README a bit now and release 1.0.0-pre2 which should make it a bit easier to use.
It only supports queries over SSL and uses the Puppet HTTP methods for making connections. So if your Nginx uses a external CA cert you might be running into bug #15561 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15561 . In the new 1.0.0-pre2 I've added the ability to use other kinds of HTTP connection objects though and use a regular one in the find-nodes binary, so you can try that instead of the puppet face if you are still getting SSL errors. -- Erik Dalén On Thursday 28 March 2013 at 17:31, Stephen Price wrote: > Guys, Can you expand the README to describe where this should be run from? > I've been trying to use it as a Puppet Face from different hosts, including > directly on the PuppetDB server, to no avail.
