# Puppet Bootstrap Scripts

This repository contains a multitude of single file scripts for setting

up [Puppet](http://puppetlabs.com/puppet/what-is-puppet/) on a variety

of machines.

Puppet is fantastic for managing infrastructure but there is a chicken/egg problem

of getting Puppet initially installed on a machine so that Puppet can then

take over for the remainder of system setup. This repository contains small scripts

to bootstrap your system just enough so that Puppet can then take over.

**Please contribute by forking and sending a pull request for your

operating system.**

The goal of this repository is to create a set of scripts that run

on every version of every platform to set up Puppet.

## Features of Each Script

* Requires no parameters and runs without any human input, but can

  optionally take parameters to tune the packages the install and such. See

  each script for details on the parameters.

* Uses only _built-in_ software to install Puppet. These scripts

  have no external dependencies over the base install of their OS.

* Installs Puppet agent and Facter.

* Does _not_ auto-start the Puppet agent service on the machine. Your

  bootstrap can choose to do this in addition to these scripts, if you'd

  like.

## Using a Script

To use one of the scripts in this repository, you can either download the

script directly from this repository as part of your machine setup process,

or copy the contents of the script you need to your own location and use that.

The latter is recommended since it then doesn't rely on GitHub uptime and

is generally more secure.

If you do choose to download directly from this repository, make sure

you link to a _specific commit_ (and not `master`), so that the file

contents don't change on you unexpectedly.

## Contributing

Fork and pull request. Simple.
