Attention: Never use this puppet module on systems which have been previously configured manually. It is impossible to predict how and what would have been configured, hence previous configurations outside the scope of this module may be overwritten! Automated configurations require a test environment to verify that the module suits the purpose intended by the user, as well as tune the parameters, before deploying into live production

Features

This module differentiates between client- and server configuration. If the FQDN of the puppet client matches the value of cy_server_fqdn, it assumes this to be an ntp time server, else it will be a client.

If you have no local time server(s), leave cy_use_lan_server at false (default), else set it to true. This affects only client configurations.

The value for cy_server_fqdn is a string rather array, assuming either a single time server or a round-robin DNS entry for this, returning several values for the time server (not configured by this module).

Disclaimer

ConfDroid as entity is entirely independent from Puppet. We provide custom configuration modules, written for specific purposes and specific environments. The modules are tested and supported only as documented, and require testing in designated environments (i.e. lab or development environments) for parameter tuning etc. before deploying into production environments.
