You're tinkering with an existing, working architecture and a company-maintained Vagrant VM?
Of course it's going well. But you should make sure to buy all the people who built all these well-engineered things a tasty drink at the next company get-together, because rest assured: Not every Puppet setup is easy to tinker with.
- eblume 13y agoI absolutely do, and having a working environment is a huge help! However I found the puppet docs to be more than sufficient, and in fact I spent the day learning puppet not through our existing code (which actually needs a fair bit of work still) but rather using the learning VM that Puppet provides on their website.
- gazarsgo 13y agoi, on the other hand, tried to learn puppet over the course of a weekend with a brand new laptop and Boxen just after it was released. There is a nightmare of broken dependencies that still aren't resolved months later (librarian-puppet won't install apache because apache's version has a -rc in it which isn't a ruby version blah blah blah...) now I know that using VMs / vagrant is critical to sane server orchestration development workflows though, so there's that.
- eblume 13y agoInteresting! We do use librarian-puppet but we do not use apache. It's possible that we just managed to step around that land mind essentially by accident. Did you run in to any other issues?
