We have a QNAP NAS running in our environment. It's a lightweight Linux-derived appliance with an ARM architecture.
I would *like* to use Puppet to manage the user accounts on the system, configure cron jobs for backups, etc, but it can't run the puppet agent locally.
The Puppet device type seems to be able to do this kind of thing. It's just not clear how to begin using it with a custom device. Is there an example out there of creating custom devices to manage unix-like appliances? The existing exmples for F5 or Cisco seem to be built around prebuilt modules, and aren't unix-like.
Or... is it more sensible to instead use Puppet to configure a node to manage the device?
