More admins using the same master

[Luca Mazzaferro]

Dear User community,

I would know if anyone has experience of using puppet 

with multiple developers.

I try to explain better.

I have ONE master and some nodes attached.

We have more than 3 users which want to develop their module and deploy them on different machines.

I know that we can define different environments and in principle 

give one for each developer.

But in this case I need to give the access to the master to each one

and I wouldn't.

In principle I would that the users develop their code on their pc, then commit 

it via git ( for example ) and when they run puppet agent on their machines

the master catch the new code and apply it.

I found the config_version variable inside the environment.conf should work running a git clone inside the environments 

before the execution on the clients.

Is there another way, simpler?

Anyone has any experience of it?

Thank you.

Regards.

Off the top of my head, have them commit/push to the same git repository where that repository is checked out by the puppetmaster. You can give them each a VM to test their own stuff, where they'll also find out how their manifests interact with the whole picture. Keeping them in their own little silos will hurt you in the long run, and also potentially much sooner than that if two of them find they need to combine incompatible pieces.

Yeah. You don't need to give them access to the master, you need something (I use a git hook on the git server) that deploys new pushes to the master.

Hi to everybody,

I'm really sorry for this late answer.

I solved the problem using Gitolite for the users code and the puppet variable config_version to run a script for automatically updating the environments. I needed to do this because this is a temporary multiusers enviroment for a tutorial on a storage system.

Thank you very much for your suggestions and help.

Cheers.
