[Puppet Users] 3.8.5 Master with 3.7.2 Agents

2016-05-27 Thread christg76
Hi, background here is that I want to use both Master and agents from the 
Debian repo. The Master runs on Jessie (3.8.5 from the backports), and some 
agents still on wheezy (3.7.2 from the backports).
This is not a new install, but rather an intermediate upgrade to the last 
Puppet 3 version, before moving on to 4 and Puppet Server.
Is anybody aware of issues with 3.8.5 Master and 3.7.2 Agents? Is there any 
reason why I should not be running this setup for a while? Cant see 
anything pressing from the release notes..

Many Thanks,
Chris

[Puppet Users] Migration to PuppetDB and Apache/Passenger setup

2016-05-20 Thread christg76
Hi, I'm in the process of planning a Puppet Upgrade. The current setup uses 
the ActiveRecord functionality/gem to connect to a MySQL DB for stored 
configs, exported resources. I'm reading in the Puppet 4 Release Notes that 
support for ActiveRecord is removed. Is there any standard way to export 
and import the existing data from MySQL to PuppetDB? The current Puppet 
version is still 2.7, but will be upgraded to 3.8 before the switch to 
PuppetDB.
Lastly, are there any packages for Puppet 4 available to use in a 
APache/passenger setup? I'm running Debian, and from Puppetlabs it looks 
everything is for PuppetServer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

[Puppet Users] Re: Upgrading Puppet from 2.7 to 4

2016-05-09 Thread christg76
Thanks to everyone for the comments! I think I first need to do some 
preliminary testing in order to assess the quality of the code and to see 
what the real challenges are, and to ultimately decide on a strategy, ie 
upgrade vs transition/migration.
Ramin K: OS of the Master is Debian Wheezy. Have you actually done the 
upgrade?
Andrew Grimberg: This approach in fact sounds as if its the best way, 
considering also what Henrik says below about new 
versions/modules/tooling/practices. But it sounds like a massive amount of 
work, particularly since we do not have any unit tests or similar in place. 
Did you have any unit tests in place with the old code, or if not are you 
implementing them with the new code?

[Puppet Users] Upgrading Puppet from 2.7 to 4

2016-05-06 Thread christg76
Hi, I'm fairly new to Puppet and have been given the project of upgrading 
an existing Puppet 2.7 site (Puppetmaster with Apache/Passenger, and MySQL 
for exported resources, with hundreds of clients), possibly to Puppet 4.
Just wanted to ask around if anybody has got experience with such an 
upgrade. Reading the docs it says that skipping major versions isn't 
recommended, so I guess I'd have to first upgrade to 3.x? Are there anymore 
upgrade docs for 2.7 to 3.x available?

Many thanks,
Chris
