puppetmanaged.org

Our services (primarily our web services and puppetmaster services) have recovered from unexpected interruption.

Puppetmanaged.org is a collection of modules for Puppet. Puppet Modules can be created in, basically, three different ways (or a mixture thereof):

1. Override anything on a per-file basis, putting the right configuration file in the right location on the Puppet master.
2. Set variables (in the node manifest) to influence the end-result (file) that is generated from a template.
3. Let Puppet control only some settings in a configuration file through Augeas, leaving the rest of the (original) file intact.

There is something to say for each of these methods. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. None of these different types of modules is mutually exclusive. A given module (including those from puppetmanaged.org) based on one of these methods can still include one or two types using the other method. For example, the puppetmanaged.org webserver module allows you to specify a template for a webserver's virtualhost.

I'm getting back up the mailing lists as we speak. This relocating thing has cost more time then I anticipated; and on top of that I've had less time to spend on it then I would have wanted. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Mailing lists include:

Users

The mailing list for users, support and questions.

http://www.puppetmanaged.org/mailman/listinfo/users (users@puppetmanaged.org)

Development

The mailing list for development discussions, patches and suggestions.

http://www.puppetmanaged.org/mailman/listinfo/devel (devel@puppetmanaged.org)

Commits

A notification type of list letting you know when new commits have been made upstream.

http://www.puppetmanaged.org/mailman/listinfo/commits (commits@puppetmanaged.org)

puppetmanaged.org is no longer using Trac as it's front page. We're looking into options to manage all modules using one issue tracker. Meanwhile, the site has moved to Drupal as you can see.
