I’m gonna be so real, that’s a lot of words that I didn’t understand but that’s okay- I suppose I’m probably not the target audience for for the software 😂
Best of luck to you and your project!
I find this happens a lot on software like this and people kind of assume visitors know what all the buzzwords mean or are in the same bubble as the developers, which is a shame really as I assume it scares a lot of people off.
TLDR: it lets you automate installing an operating system and software, mainly used for servers.
Oh that’s totally sick, I bet that would be hella useful if I had another computer I wanted to set up and have everything I’ve got on my main machine
The use case is more for server and linux-type operating systems but I bet there are some crazy folk who use it for their desktops. No idea!
Its Configuration Management, so why would that not apply to Desktops? :)
We use it in Linux Servers, Windows Servers, Linux Desktops, Windows Desktops, etc etc :)
Why not just use Ansible?
As someone that has never used Puppet, I also wonder this. Ansible is agentless and works on basically anything. What do you gain by requiring an agent, like with this?
A long lost host (a machine that’s been offline or in a closed off network etc.) can find its master (puppetserver) when it sees the daylight again with the regularily polling puppet agent service. This is not as straightforward with ansible’s push model.
