Hi all,
Apologies if this has been dealt with before, but I haven't managed to find
an answer yet.
I have a working "dynamic environments" setup:
* A gitolite repository (on a dedicated host) with multiple branches - one
for each environment.
* I use r10k ro deploy the environments on the master to
$confdir/environments/$::environment.
This all works *really* well, but I would also like to get the rest of the
puppet configuration under version control (i.e. puppet.conf, hiera.yaml
etc.). It's no problem to put the files in a repo, but I'm stuck on finding
a way to deploy them.
I tried using puppetlabs/vcsrepo, but it refuses to deploy files to a
directory that isn't a repository.
So I tried blowing away $confdir, then cloning it from the repo, then
running r10k to populate the environments subdirectory. This looked ok, but
puppet agent runs died horribly, reporting internal server errors ("Web
application could not be started"). I guess this may be a file permissions
issue, but it definitely made me think I'm going about this the wrong way.
Has anyone else with a similar setup managed to solve this problem? Is it a
simple matter of moving the confdir somewhere else, or is allowing puppet
to manage its own config simply a Bad Idea?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Simon.
