NAME¶
puppet-plugin - Interact with the Puppet plugin system.
SYNOPSIS¶
puppet plugin
action
DESCRIPTION¶
This subcommand provides network access to the puppet master´s store of
plugins.
The puppet master serves Ruby code collected from the
lib directories of
its modules. These plugins can be used on agent nodes to extend Facter and
implement custom types and providers. Plugins are normally downloaded by
puppet agent during the course of a run.
OPTIONS¶
Note that any configuration parameter that´s valid in the configuration
file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be relevant to
the present action. For example,
server and
run_mode are valid
configuration parameters, so you can specify
--server
<servername>, or
--run_mode <runmode> as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the
full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration
options can also be generated by running puppet with
--genconfig.
