Incomplete Facter results on Raspberry Pi 4 with "gem install puppet"
Issue Type: Bug Bug

Hello Puppet Facter Team,

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for your awesome support!.

Currently, I am trying to manage multiple Raspberry Pi 4/ Jetson Nano with Puppet Open Source version. I was able to install Puppet 6.3 by using `gem install puppet` by following https://gist.github.com/aaroncoffey/2459738bb9fb3d91f237455a4c577e9c

This also installs facter, which is version 2.5.4. Facter 2.5.4 doesn't produce output in newer format. For example: networking.fqdn or os.hardware.

Because of which multiple puppet forge modules such as adullact/freeipa and dp/golang fails.

This might get solved by FACT-2270. Would appreciate if this could be resolved.

Yours Sincerely,

Vijay

Re: Incomplete Facter results on Raspberry Pi 4 with "gem install puppet"

Hi Vijay,

Facter 2 is not producing output in the newer format and there are no plans to add the newer format to it.

On the other hand, Facter-ng (will be published as Facter 4 to Rubygems) does support both the old format and the new format.
We're currently doing extensive testing for Facter 4 and assessing the impact.

If you want to try out Puppet with Facter 4 you can add the following gem source: http://ec2-52-55-30-243.compute-1.amazonaws.com:9292/. This gem source has puppet version 6.12.0.47 (currently not a released version of Puppet) that comes with Facter 4.0.4.

Please note that, as mentioned above, Facter 4 is still in development.

Any feedback for Facter 4 is highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mihai

Vijay Kumar we've started publishing Facter 4 as the default facter in rubygems.org
