Puppet support for Pulp allows you to create and publish repositories of Puppet modules. One common use case is to mirror Puppet Forge. You can synchronize an existing repository such as all or part of Puppet Forge, upload your own Puppet modules, and publish the result as a repository inside your own network.

Another common use case is to copy synced modules into a custom repository and add additional modules by uploading them directly. This allows you to test new modules or new versions of existing modules and then easily promote them into a production repository.

Puppet modules must adhere to the Puppet 3.6+ metadata guidelines, which require a valid metadata.json file to be present in the puppet module. Also, each tag.gz file must contain only one Puppet module inside it. Extra directories or Puppet modules can cause unexpected behavior.

Consumers must have Puppet 2.7.14 to 3.4.3 installed, and we recommend getting the Puppet client packages directly from Puppet Labs.
