Is it possible to install puppet-sync post receive hook on Bitbucket site to sync my Puppet master automatically after each push?

Question

I recently started using Puppet directory environments. I really like the idea of Dynamic Puppet environments with Git branches and Git hooks to sync Puppet master after any changes were pushed to the Git server.

My question is: Can I use external service like Bitbucket as a Git master or do I need to have my own Git server? If I can use Bitbucket how I can add my puppet-sync post receive hook there? Can anybody point me to an article on how to do this?

Answer 1

No, the idea of repository hosting services (like GitHub or BitBucket) is to:

• not execute directly any program (for security reason)
• provide GitHub webhook or bitbucket Post hook management in order to notify a listener which has to act on a JSON payload message.

If you use an external hosting service, you would need to setup such a webhook and a listener in order to sync your service (here a Puppet master) after each push to your Git repo.
A bit like that webhook (to listen to push events) but calling puppet-sync instead .
