Creating a Puppet Module¶

A Puppet Module is used to control a server resource, like a daemon, an OS package, or hardware.

Puppet-Diamond environment¶

Enter the Puppet-Diamond virtual environment and import your configuration settings.

workon puppet-diamond
source ~/.puppet-diamond

The first step is to scaffold a new module. The general form of the command is:

domo-new.sh diamond-module ${SERVICE_NAME}

The following example demonstrates creating a puppet module for Postfix.

domo-new.sh diamond-module postfix

Add the new module class to a profile, located in ${PD_PATH}/${PD_MASTER}/profiles.

class {"postfix": ;}

Sync to the puppetmaster and apply the changes to the client.

domo-sync.sh
domo-test.sh ${PUPPET_HOST}.example.com
domo-apply.sh ${PUPPET_HOST}.example.com
