puppet module list upgrades-available

[James Green]

I have a need to report on the modules we have installed and for each:

1. The version installed

2. The latest version available to upgrade to

Any ideas how to get this as I'm not seeing a "puppet module" command to match.

[ Fairly convinced I cannot be the first to ask this too... ]

Thanks,

James

Hi James,

To get the versions installed, highly recommend using a Puppetfile[1].
This file lists all of your modules tied to where you download them from
and at what git reference, which could be a tagged version or branch or
commit SHA. I use a mix of librarian-puppet-simple[2] and r10k[3] which
do not do any dependency resolution of modules, so I always know exactly
what code is being deployed.

To see what is available is trickier, though if you are using modules
from the Forge, you could use their API[4].
