Sample Puppet Deployment using r10k, dynamic environments and hiera to manage macs. No puppet master needed.

This example uses dayglojesus's 'managedmac' module: https://github.com/dayglojesus/managedmac which is well documented here. http://dayglojesus.github.io/managedmac/

The Hiera data is public here (with scrambled passwords etc): https://github.com/groob/hieradata_public

The environment repo is here: https://github.com/whitby/puppet-environment

OS X 10.10 Guide

Here's what I did to get things working.

1. Install Xcode 6

Yep, over at: https://developer.apple.com

2. Install the Command Line Tools (CLT)

Jekyll & Liquid Cheatsheet

A list of the most common functionalities in Jekyll (Liquid). You can use Jekyll with GitHub Pages, just make sure you are using the proper version.

Running

Running a local server for testing purposes:

I have spent quite a bit of time figuring out automounts of NFS shares in OS X...

Somewhere along the line, Apple decided allowing mounts directly into /Volumes should not be possible:

/etc/auto_master (see last line):

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

What Changed

I used to automount on OSX by sudo vifs and adding a line like vault.local:/backup /Volumes/backup url auto,url==afp://;AUTH=No%20User%[email protected]/backup 0 0. But that no longer works on Maverick because the system deletes everything in /Volumes on wake/restart/something-or-other.

We are going to create a mount at /mnt/Resources. We need to edit the auto_master to tell it where the automount config for /mnt/Resources lives:

sudo vi /etc/auto_master

Now add this line at the top
