Write a basic custom module for puppet

[alvaro...@beeva.com]

I have some experience handling puppet modules but this time I wrote some code in Ruby that I'd like to port to a custom puppet module. I already have read puppetlabs documentation( puppetforge, Beginner's guide )about writing custom modules but I still don't get a basic idea to build from zero a dummy custom puppet module to test it.

Do you know where can I find some practical examples to build a dummy custom puppet module?

Hi,

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/modules_fundamentals.html

Maybe start with:

puppet module generate user-modulename ....

you'll get the basic stuff. 

HTH,

puppet module generate assumes a pure Puppet module, rather than one
using the Ruby API.

The larger skeleton I maintain has the trappings of a Ruby module, but
it's fairly large at this point:

The following is a pretty small/simple native type and provider.

It's not the best code but it works and it's not complicated, so for
getting started purposes it's potentially a nice start to follow as
long as you know a little Ruby.

The following blog posts also give a good introduction to some of the
concepts that are worth understanding.

And do feel frree to post code in gists for feedback here.

I'd love to know what you're building too.
