puppet enterprise vagrant r10k sandbox development environment with geppetto

I have setup a working sandbox with

  • Virtualbox
  • vagrant
  • vagrant-pe_build
  • vagrant-hosts

This builds a perfect master agent sandbox using r10k to deploy a puppet sandbox environment. I am creating by hand a sshfs to mount the root@master.local:/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/sandbox/modules/ environment. I want to use geppetto to import all the projects and export it as a working set for the team. r10k uses the concept of a remote "cache" to fetch stored objects which eliminates duplication and speeds it up. It also leaves the clone on a "(no branch)" checkout.

When I go to import the project via geppetto the cache is not on my hypervisor where I am editing. So it essentially non functional.

I can try to fix the clone, but I am hoping there is a better automated solution before I script something.

  1. Does anyone have a better methods for sshfs? I tried vagrant-sshfs but that didn't work
  2. Is there a better way to use r10k to create a working copy?
  3. Is there a better sandbox environment?
Solution

  • Instead of using sshfs, you should consider using Vagrant/Virtualbox's shared folders feature.
