I was frustrated with Puppet when I first started. All I wanted was a VM to install a few things so I could do some development and not have to worry about managing my VM.
It turned out to be a rabbit hole. As soon as I thought I learned just enough to get it running, something else popped up that stopped me.
That's why I created PuPHPet [1]. So far the reception has been fairly positive.
At one point in my learning, I got fed up and tried Salt. I couldn't get the Salt hello-world running. I followed the directions to a T. If your tutorial is incorrect, or hard to follow just to get the most basic version up and running, it will turn people away.
Also, this was all on top of Vagrant.

- tr4656 13y agoThis is a pretty quick way of setting up basic vagrant boxes. Nice to see this exists.
- joemaller1 13y agoPuPHPet works very well for getting basic Vagrant boxes up and running. Thank you.
- nkuttler 13y agoInteresting. I find the salt documentation excellent and haven't found any serious bug in it. Too bad it didn't work for you and that you gave up so soon.
- dave1010uk 13y agoPuPHPet looks really good. What's the default PHP setup? It would be great to be able to switch between and configure mod_php, fastcgi, fcgid, PHP-FPM, suPHP, suExec, etc.
