Which puppetlabs release package to choose?

  • 772

When looking at http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ there are puppetlabs packages, for the different Debian and Ubuntu releases. But apart from that there is the standard edition (like puppetlabs-release-trusty.deb) and the puppet collection 1 edition (like puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb).

Questions

  • What are the differences ?
  • Which version of puppet is supported by the different packages ?

    Use the PC1 package, i.e. puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb.

    The puppetlabs-release-trusty.deb package is for the Puppet 3 repositories. Puppet 3 goes end-of-life (EOL) at the end of 2016, so shouldn't be installed on new systems. It doesn't contain packages for Ubuntu 16.04 either.

    The Puppet Collection 1 (PC1) repositories were created to provide Puppet 4 and the "all-in-one" (AIO) packages, which self-contain all of the dependencies required to run Puppet. You should be using this repository and installing puppet-agent for agents and puppetserver for the master.
