Convert private DSC Resources to a Puppet module
If you have private DSC resources, you can convert them to a Puppet module.
- Run the following command to install the
Puppet.dsc
PowerShell module:PS C:\Users\Administrator> Install-Module -Name Puppet.Dsc
This command provides the
New-PuppetDscModule
function that builds Puppet modules out of PowerShell resources.The
Puppet.Dsc
module retrieves the source PowerShell module from a PSRepository feed. In most cases, this is the standard PowerShell Gallery, but it can use any feed you specify.The following example points a PSRespository to a development environment where maintained PowerShell modules are stored. PowerShell can use either a local or shared folder as the source.
# Make sure you specify the correct parameters PS> Register-PSRepository -Name YourRepository -SourceLocation 'C:\Users\YourName\Projects\PowershellModules' -ScriptSourceLocation 'C:\Users\YourName\Projects\PowershellModules' -InstallationPolicy Trusted
- Run the following command to build a Puppet
module using your private PSRepository feed:
# Make sure to specify the correct parameters PS> New-PuppetDscModule -PowerShellModuleName YourPowerShellModule -PowerShellModuleVersion 2.2.3 -Repository YourRepository
The
Puppet.Dsc
module generates to theimport
folder. Use Puppet Development Kit (PDK) to build a module tarball and distribute it — in the same way that you distribute other private Puppet modules. For more information, see the PDK documentation.
