Deprecation Notice: I'm in the process of revamping my puppet work, this repo is currently not up to date.

puppet-boxen

Module to provide core types, facts, and manifests for Boxen

Changes from upstream

• Removed some meta from the project
• Set up CircleCI tests
• Switched to function bindings over puppet-module-data
• Patch osx_defaults to be a bit cleaner
• Switch to puppet-sudoers

Usage

In your hiera config:

# Don't include ./ in $PATH
boxen::environment::relative_bin_on_path: false

include boxen

Facts

Boxen loads facts from following locations:

• ~/.boxen/config.json (weight -1)
• $BOXEN_HOME/config/facts/*.json (weight -1)
• $BOXEN_REPO_DIR/facts.d/ (weight EXTERNAL_FACT_WEIGHT + 1 = 10001) - various filetypes, see documentation
• _MODULEPATH_/_MODULE-NAME_/lib/facter/*.rb (weight set by vendor or default = number of confines, no confines = 0)

Facter itself also loads facts from environment variables with mask FACTER_* (weight 1_000_000).

Default values:

• _MODULEPATH_=$BOXEN_REPO_DIR/shared
• $BOXEN_REPO_DIR=Dir.pwd - de facto root of this repository, typically cloned into /opt/boxen/repo

Configuration

• ENV['BOXEN_HOME']/config/boxen/defaults.json
  • Default $BOXEN_HOME = /opt/boxen
