See intro for what this is about.

Ben helped me with all this stuff and I just typed what he told me. This was actually written on 2026-06-10 butI forgot to update.

This blog post below was written by Claude, because it was so long ago I don’t remember the details!

Set up Puppet on will today. Used r10k to pull the control repo from gitea. Had to reorganise the directory structure a bit since the control repo skeleton uses site-modules and data but I wanted the more conventional site and hieradata layout. Also removed the boilerplate node default from site.pp I don’t want a catch-all class accidentally applying to everything.
