[英]How To allow unexperienced users to use my Puppet module

原文 2017-11-02 05:05:30 9 2 puppet

I am developing opensouce project with a huge pile of dependencies, and I find Puppet a perfect tool for my requirements. 我正在开发具有大量依赖关系的opensouce项目，我发现Puppet是满足我的要求的理想工具。

However, my target audience is not necessarily experienced with Puppet. 但是，我的目标受众不一定对Puppet有经验。 To the point they may not be even know how web servers work. 到目前为止，他们甚至可能不知道Web服务器如何工作。 So I would like to ask the user to “run this in terminal” for the simplest case, but if the user also wants to configure some parts of my software, he would have to learn puppet. 因此，我想请用户在最简单的情况下“在终端中运行”，但是如果用户还想配置我的软件的某些部分，则他必须学习木偶。 And educating them Puppet defeats the “servers for dummies” purpose of my project. 并且教育他们Puppet击败了我项目的“傻瓜服务器”目的。

Basically, dare I say, I need Unity from the deployment world. 基本上，我敢说，我需要部署领域的Unity。

The thing I came up with, is to use 'json' as a backend for Puppet, and then write some GUI tool that would generate/modify that json using JSON Schema. 我想到的是使用“ json”作为Puppet的后端，然后编写一些GUI工具，该工具将使用JSON模式生成/修改该json。 Of couse, this thing will be optional and experient Puppet usets could still just use my module as is. 当然，这是可选的，经验丰富的Puppet用户仍然可以照常使用我的模块。

The questiond is, am I doing it right? 问题是，我做对了吗？ Is there a solution for my problem? 我的问题有解决方案吗？

Thanks in advance. 提前致谢。
