Can r10k use a control repository on the local filesystem?

  • 772

I'm starting to work with R10k for deploying Puppet environments, but I don't want to put our control repo into GitHub, and I don't have a local GitLab server at the moment.

I've tried using the following sources stanza:

:sources:
  mysource:
    basedir: /tmp/puppet-test/environments
    prefix: false
    remote: /srv/git/control.repo

When I run r10k deploy display I get the correct values displayed, but no environments. I have two branches in my repo, though, both with Puppetfiles and the rest.

Is R10k able to work with a remote that is accessed via files? Do I need to prepend a file:// scheme?

  1. This configuration works for me as a r10k.yaml (using r10k 2.3.0):

    ---
:cachedir: /var/cache/r10k
:sources:
  :local:
    remote: file:///opt/repos/r10k
    basedir: /etc/puppet/environments

    The repository does not need to be a bare repository.
