How does one configure puppet for push-only updates?

  • 772

Setting runinterval=0 in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf causes continuous pulls, not no pulls. I'm trying to arrange puppet so that it will listen for puppetrun calls, but never pull without one.

  1. Run puppetd with --no-client option and it will just wait for the master to initiate an update.

    From man puppetd:

    no-client: Do not create a config client. This will cause the daemon
           to run without ever checking for its configuration automatically,
           and only makes sense when used in conjunction with --listen.

  2. Just run puppetd with the --onetime option, and don't start it from init.d or cron.
