Is it possible to include files in puppet.conf

[Edd Grant]

Hi,

Is it possible to include files in puppet.conf? I'd like to use this to be able to declare new environments in their own files rather than having to edit puppet.conf each time.

I'm thinking something along the lines of how sudoers works with sudoers.d

# puppet.conf
include environments/*

And then having an environments folder which contains files which declare environments

i.e.

environments/dev01.conf
environments/dev02.conf
environments/test01.conf
environments/test02.conf
environments/prod.conf
etc

Is anything like this currently supported by Puppet? It would make the task of automating the definition of environments much more straight forward than the current requirement to problematically amend/ munge puppet.conf.

Cheers,

Edd

Read about dynamic environments.

Preview: make use of $environment in puppet.conf

Hi Jose,

Thanks for responding, I should have mentioned I have already looked at dynamic environments. Unfortunately though several of our environments require a unique module path and I couldn't find a way to accommodate that using dynamic environments.

I suppose the ideal would be for us to remove the need to have a unique module path in each environment but I can't see that happening any time soon. Will have a ponder on other approaches.

Cheers.

Edd

I don't understand the problem, just use a modulepath without the $environment, or set a couple of paths this way:
modulepath = $confdir/environments/common:$confdir/environments/$environment/modules
