librarian-puppetI’m proud to announce the release of librarian-puppet version 1.0.0. It was about time to get to 1.x after more than 200k gem installations. See my previous post about managing Puppet modules to take advantage of its features.

Librarian-puppet is a bundler for your puppet infrastructure. You can use librarian-puppet to manage the puppet modules your infrastructure depends on, whether the modules come from the Puppet Forge, Git repositories or a just a path.

  • Librarian-puppet can reuse the dependencies listed in your Modulefile
  • Forge modules can be installed from Puppetlabs Forge or an internal Forge such as Pulp
  • Git modules can be installed from a branch, tag or specific commit, optionally using a path inside the repository
  • Modules can be installed from GitHub using tarballs, without needing Git installed
  • Module dependencies are resolved transitively without needing to list all the modules explicitly

Librarian-puppet manages your modules/ directory for you based on your Puppetfile. Your Puppetfile becomes the authoritative source for what modules you require and at what version, tag or branch.
