I want to demonstrate the interaction with Foreman and that it’s really straight forward. The codebase is big and complicated so it’s hard to show a very minimal version. In about 100 lines I could implement a functional proxy including an implementation of the Puppet feature.
It was also a lot of fun to teach myself modern Python web frameworks and I always teach myself by implementing something semi-serious. Automatically generating an openapi schema was also an interesting experiment.
While doing so, I even found a bug in the Smart Proxy Puppet module for which I still need to open an issue. When a Puppet parameter defaults to false, it’s represented as a string instead of a boolean (where true is a boolean).
