chocolatey nginx uninstallation woes

Uninstalling via puppet seems to not work, but does via choco...

PS C:\puppetcode> puppet resource package nginx-service ensure=absent
package { 'nginx-service':
  ensure => 'absent',
}
PS C:\puppetcode> puppet resource package nginx
package { 'nginx':
  ensure => '1.6.2',

puppet node classified into groups that defined conflicting values for the environment

puppet enterprise - node was classified into groups that defined conflicting values for the environment

This often happens to me and some of the time I understand why and other times it just feels like it's impossible to understand what's going on.

On this occasion it looks like this:

State 1: node is classified into development environment and is happy.

Change: add node into a node group that has parent group Development and environment development (not an environment group)

Using Atom and Shared Folders in VirtualBox with the Puppet Fundamentals Student VM

Using Atom and Shared Folders in VirtualBox with the Puppet Fundamentals Student VM

First up, why might you want to do this? The main reason is this - you might prefer GUI text editors to command line text editors. Often when teaching Puppet Fundamentals some students will have littler or no command line experience and struggle with vim and nano. One alternative is to share a folder from your workstation (Mac, Windows or Linux) into the Linux vm we use for the course. This takes a little bit of setting up, which is where this document comes in.

An alternative to using shared folders, is to simply just use git to sync your local code up to the puppet master from your workstation.
