To invoke and manage a pipservice with Puppet:

1. Use pipservice invocation directly from puppet nodefiles to install the custom app into /opt/$name to be run as and owned by root:root. 

   
   

   Code Block
   language yml title sample hiera yaml entry
   pipservice: testapp: tag: 'master'

   
   Alternatively, use a module to install a pipservice.

   Code Block
   language yml title sample in module usage
   pipservice { 'testapp': tag => 'master', }

   
   

2. Your app will be installed into /opt/testapp (or whatever name you pick) and enabled as a systemd service.

3. For syslog output, use asfpy's syslog.Printer class:

   Code Block
   language py
   import asfpy.syslog print = asfpy.syslog.Printer(stdout=True, identity='TestApp') # stdout flag will print to stdout AND syslog, if set. print("This will hit stdout AND syslog!")
