Puppet Without Agent

[guilherme...@netbr.com.br]

Hi guys,

I wonder if I can use the Puppet without agent. I only need the Puppet connect on some servers through SSH and run some command lines.

Do you know if Puppet do this?

Thanks a lot.

Hey,

no, sorry. Puppet cant connect over ssh and run commands for you. 

You can run the puppet agent without a puppet master, but then you need to transfer the manifest to the machine you want to run on first. 

There are other tools that lets you run commands or scripts over ssh like fabric or ansible.

I agree with Lowe Schmidt.

Wrong tool for the job.  "connect on some servers through SSH and run some command lines" sounds like command orchestration, not configuration management - Rundeck, ansible...etc as said.

Puppet will not connect to another machine on your behalf or run commands on remote machines.

Puppet can be run without using the agent, however.  Puppet must be installed on the machine to be managed, and the needed manifests and data must be accessible on that machine.  You can then use 'puppet apply' to build and apply a catalog locally, using a manifest you designate as the starting manifest.  This does require somehow distributing the needed manifests and data; source-control systems and network filesystems are some of the popular means for handling that end.
