Where do i find the puppet configuration file

Question

I have recently started learning puppet and I need to make a few chnages int he config file. This might sound dumb, but I'm not sure where my puppet config file is saved. A little help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

Hey @Kiran, the default location of the config file is /etc/puppet.puppet.config.

Let me know if you do not find it there.

Hope it helps, Thank you.

Hey @Akaash, thanks a lot. I found it in /etc/puppet itself.

Happy to help :)

Also, where do I find the puppet server config file? I was under the impression that it would be in the same directory.

You should find it here - /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/conf.d

Answer 2

The puppet.conf file is always located at $confdir/puppet.conf.

Although its location is configurable with the config setting, it can only be set on the command line (e.g. puppet agent -t --config ./temporary_config.conf).

The location of the confdir depends on your OS.
