facterdb

A Gem that contains a lot of facts for a lot of Operating Systems.

Legacy Fact Deprecation

With facterdb 2, Puppet legacy facts are deprecated and will be removed in facterdb 3.

Some facts were declared legacy a long time ago: Core facts documentation
With Puppet 8 they are disabled by default. With the release of facterdb 3 we will also remove the legacy facts from our factsets.

Start with the README.

Included Factsets

There may be Factsets available for any combination of Operating System, Architecture (i.e. i386, x86_64, arm64), and Facter Version.

The list of factsets is available in several different formats:

• Table of Operating Systems and Facter Versions - this is the table that was formerly available in the README.
• List: Grouped by Architecture -> Operating System
• List: Grouped by Facter Version -> Operating System
• List: Grouped by Operating System -> Architecture
• List: Grouped by Operating System -> Facter Version

Starting with version 1.28.0 (May 2024), check RubyDoc for Factsets included in each released gem.
