✨ puppetserver-foreground — the manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so you opened the puppetserver-foreground(1) man page from the General Commands Manual section and you want the tea? pull up a chair, we're doing this 💅

It's called puppetserver-foreground and it is, and I cannot stress this enough, the Puppetserver foreground process command. That's the whole vibe. Let's go.

🦋 Name 🦋

puppetserver-foreground — Puppetserver foreground process command 🌸

✨ Synopsis ✨

puppetserver foreground (--help)
puppetserver foreground <options>

That's it, that's the shape of it. Two moods: ask for help, or pass options 👑

💖 Description 💖

Start the Puppet Server as a foreground process. Like, it just runs right there in your terminal, main character energy, no disappearing into the background on you. lowkey the most honest way to run it 🫶

🎀 Options 🎀

• -h, --help — shows you the help message and then exits. Baby's first move, fr fr 🙈
• -d, --debug — turns on debug mode. it's giving "I want to see everything" 🔥
• -b, --bootstrap-config BOOTSTRAP-CONFIG-FILE — the path to your bootstrap config file ✨
• -c, --config CONFIG-PATH — the path to a configuration file, or to a directory of configuration files, or even a comma-separated list of such paths 👑 the documentation has the list of supported file types, so go check that, iykyk
• -p, --plugins PLUGINS-DIRECTORY — the path to the directory of plugin .jars 🍓
• -r, --restart-file RESTART-FILE — the path to a file whose contents get incremented every single time all of the configured services have been started. yes. every time. it's a counter, it's doing its little thing 🌈

💀 Bugs 💀

Found a bug? bestie, report it to your distribution's bug tracker, or upstream at <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetserver/issues> — they want to hear about it ✨ not me being a snitch, it's literally what the page says 😭
