Modules collections
Example42 is one of many different modules collections. A good list is on the Wiki. The ones we've found most interesting and have been source of code, learning and inspiration are:
- David Schmitt's Complete Configuration - Probably the first module set released. Debian oriented.
- eshao's complete configuration -- Based on FreeBSD. Heavily focuses on demonstrating best practices and techniques to reduce code size.
- Puppet Managed by Jeroen van Meeuwen. A collection of modules with an interesting approach. Readhat oriented.
- Immerda modules - An impressive set of modules, partially derived from DavidS, with a wide support for different OS.
- Camptocamp - Camptocamp repository
- Puzzle - Puzzle repository
- Riseup - Riseup Labs modules
Interesting articles
- Master of Puppets #2: speaking the language is a clear and interesting overview of Puppet logic. Must read.
- Complex data and Puppet introduces the extlookup parser function to read Puppet data from external files (such as csv). A powerful approach to manage variables assignments on Puppet installations with a large number of nodes.
