Control Repo

github.com/example42/psick

A modern, opinionated, general purpose, fully featured, reusable Puppet control-repo [generator] on steroids, featuring:

  • Multiple ways to test local Puppet code (on Docker, Vagrant or directly remote hosts)
  • A Gitlab CI pipeline to control Puppet code deployment
  • Usability in any Puppet setup, based on Puppet OSS, PE, Foreman…
  • Powerful and easy ways to customize Multi-VM Vagrant environments
  • Documentation on Puppet and on various approaches to how to organize code and data
  • A separated sample Hieradata module for real-world usage examples

 

PSICK Puppet module

github.com/example42/puppet-psick

An innovative standalone Puppet module that can be used without the Psick control-repo. With a single, uniform module, it manages various common resources and components typically configured on Linux and Windows.

It can save you from using dozens of independent and heterogeneous modules.

Among its features:

  • A robust interface for Hiera driven nodes classification
  • Ready-to-use profiles for common system baselines
  • Support and integration with common third-party modules
  • Integration with Tiny Puppet and psick_profile modules

psick_profile module

github.com/example42/puppet-psick_profile

An optional companion module to the main psick one. It adds support for several common applications often managed via Puppet, leveraging on psick and tp modules.

Among its features:

  • All the parameters set in main psick module are used for defaults.
  • Several different applications are managed, adding to the powerful and lean abstraction of Tiny Puppet application specific resources
  • Ready-to-use profiles for common application.
  • You can cherry pick the profiles you want
  • Tp, psick and psick_profile modules alone can replace 90% of the Puppet modules you are using now
  • Support, where possible, for Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat derivatives and Suse), Windows and MacOS.
