This is Puppet manifest for installation, configuration, and control NetworkManager using keyfiles. I am going to write propper puppet forge standard module until the end of the October 2022.

It is especialy designed for CentOS and its new derivates like Rocky Linux.

I have revealed and tuned a few errors connected with administration of NM through Puppet like race condition errors when I execute service and after that try to configure it using nmcli and dbus.

Now there is main nm::init class using with two boolean parameters: Boolean $erase_unmanaged_keyfiles = false, Boolean $no_auto_default = false which ensures that the package is installed, runs service and configures man config file /etc/NetworkManager.conf.

nm::reload class Execute take created keyfiles and starts them using nmcli. It is notified from each define.

And than there are defines to create different types of keyfiles: nm::ifc::connection nm::ifc::fallback nm::ifc::bridge nm::ifc::bridge::slave nm::ifc::bond nm::ifc::bond::slave nm::ifc::vlan
