Module description

This module will download and install inspec by Chef, a compliance as code tool.

Setup

What puppet-inspec affects

puppet-inspec will simply download the package from the package url (or optionally from your own repo) and install it. That's it!

Beginning with puppet-inspec

Simply include the inspec module like so:

  include ::inspec

You may want to use a class include if you wish to override parameters:

  class { '::inspec' :
        install_method => 'package'
  }

Usage

I just want to install inspec, what's the minimum I need

  include ::inspec

I want to install the package from a custom url

Specify the URL to download from. It's a good idea to make sure you also specify the version specifically, so Puppet knows about it

  class { '::inspec' :
    download_url => 'http://my_url/inspec-1.7.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm'
    version      => '1.7.1-1'
  }
