puppet apply -- override node name, module path

[Martin Langhoff]

Hi folks,

testing puppet configs, I have

/home/martin/mytestingpuppetconfigs/{manifests,modules}

and while working in there, I would like to be able to say something
along the lines of:

puppet apply --noop --nodename=foo01 --modulepath=./modules manifests/site.pp

which should tell me what puppet wants to do to my system.

Is there any practical way to achieve this? I am not planning on
having one test VM per "victim" system :-p

cheers,


m

I believe you can do:

puppet apply --certname=foo01 ...

HTH,
