+# Puppet configuration repository for immae.eu's services
+
+This repository has the aim to help automate the installation of servers
+planned for a specific task, with the help of Puppet. The host are
+supposed to be listed in an LDAP-like database, which will contain the
+necessary credentials, variable configuration and secrets for each
+server.
+
+## Structure
+
+The repository is structured along Puppet modules (`modules/`
+directory). Each machine has one or several `role`, which determine the
+set of programs and configuration to install. Each role may be
+standalone, or require a set of `profile`, which is seen as a
+reusable component. (The structure is inspired from the tutorial at
+[https://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/](https://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/) )
