Can I use puppet to fully setup a dedicated server with Ubuntu?

  • 772

I see that I can install puppet as an Debian/Ubuntu package to automate deployment.

But can I also bootstrap a full (non-virtual) server including partitioning the hard drives and so on using puppet?

  1. You could partition hard drives using exec, but this isn't a good idea, and you would need puppet already installed on the server anyway. Your best bet for automated installing and deployment of bare metal servers would be PXE boot with Cobbler and Puppet together.
