Puppetdb is quite standard, so the upstream doc should more or less just work. Also the old puppetdb 5 README contained quite some outdated/misleading info If there turns to be out some OpenBSD specific issues, I'm happy to re-add. > - puppetserver doesn't create /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver directory oops > - puppetserver doesn't start on my server log file attached, it seems there > is a dependency missing (no such file to load...). puppetserver is quite non-standard, compared to puppetdb, just to make sure, did you do the initial bootstrap as described in the README? > New package doesn't upgrade from puppet5, a pkg_path is missing I think. not sure if that should. as puppetserver is now "extra", and before, it was just a single package conaining client and master.
