Headstartapp::Marionette - ZMQ connection to puppet master
============================================================

Marionette connects a headstartapp server instance (puppet node) to its 
master and executes puppet runs on demand. Marionette uses fast and lightweight 
0MQ <http://zeromq.org> messaging system.

For more about Headstartapp see <http://headstartapp.com>.


Installation
------------

If you're using RVM, run this under the system context.
Be sure to have the appropriate port open (for the following example, port 5555) 
on the puppet node.
    
    gem install marionette



Example
-------

In this example, puppet and master are on the same local network and the puppet's ip is 192.168.1.1.

Note: By default, Marionette connects to "tcp://127.0.0.1:5555"

Results:
1) on the pupet, /tmp/test.out contains "test #{Time.now}"
2) master.receive returns puppet's facts as a hash.
3) Note: this example does not execute a puppet run. 


    Ruby:

    require 'rubygems'
    require 'marionette'

    puppet = HeadStartApp::Marionette::Connect.new(:uri=>"192.168.1.1:5555) puppet
    master = HeadStartApp::Marionette::Connect.new(:uri=>"192.168.1.1:5555").master
    message = {:run=>{:system=>true,:facter=>true},:system=>{:command=>"echo 'test @ #{Time.now}' > /tmp/test.out"}}
    master.send message
    master.receive



    CLI (start marionette-puppet as a daemon):

    marionette start tcp://192.168.1.1:5555



    Rake (set up marionette as a service:

    rake setup-service
