puppet

Manage and automate the configuration of servers. Puppet uses a declarative language to define system configurations and apply them automatically. Some subcommands, such as agent and apply, have their own usage documentation. More information: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/main/references/man/overview.md.

• Apply a Puppet manifest file to configure the system:

puppet apply {{path/to/file.pp}}

• Apply a manifest in no operation (dry-run) mode to preview changes:

puppet apply --noop {{path/to/file.pp}}

• Validate the syntax of a Puppet manifest:

puppet parser validate {{path/to/file.pp}}

• Run the Puppet agent to fetch and apply configurations from the master:

puppet agent {{[-t|--test]}}

• Display help for a specific subcommand:

puppet help {{subcommand}}

• Display general help:

puppet {{[-h|--help]}}

• Display version:

puppet {{[-V|--version]}}
