Rebrand Puppet -> OpenVox and fix links by silug · Pull Request #530 · OpenVoxProject/openvox

silug · 2026-07-07T19:23:14Z

Short description

Follow-up to #348 to fix OpenVox branding and links

Rebrand remaining user-facing product references throughout lib/, docs/,
api/, conf/, ext/, examples/, and rakelib/: CLI help text, setting
descriptions, type/provider/function docstrings, and log messages.
Ruby namespaces, the puppet executable and subcommands, the Puppet
language/DSL, literal paths/routes/service names, and Puppet Forge
references are unchanged. Protocol-visible literals (User-Agent,
X-Puppet-* headers, SSL OID display names, log source names) are kept
to preserve wire and tooling compatibility.

Also:

Remove Puppet Enterprise references
Rebrand prose Facter -> OpenFact and PuppetDB -> OpenVoxDB
Map puppet.com/docs/puppet links to docs.openvoxproject.org/openvox
and puppet.com/docs/puppetserver links to .../openvox-server
Regenerate man pages, references, and locales/puppet.pot
Convert man pages with pandoc directly in references:man; pandoc-ruby
fails with EPIPE under pandoc 3.x
Use /openvox/latest canonical paths in generated references
Update spec expectations for the new strings

For file paths I'd really like #225 to go in first. It makes it a lot easier.

This change explicitly does not touch file paths.

Rebrand user-facing product references, following the treatment of OpenVoxProject/openvox#530: - Facter -> OpenFact and Puppet -> OpenVox in README, Extensibility.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/data-flow.md, code comments, docstrings, the --puppet CLI option description, fact schema descriptions, and log/warning message text (plus the matching spec expectation) - puppet-agent -> openvox-agent where the AIO package is meant in prose - Rewrite puppet.com documentation links to docs.openvoxproject.org Deliberately unchanged: the facter executable and man page command name, Facter/LegacyFacter Ruby namespaces and API, fact and resolver names, environment variables, file paths, registry keys, references to the Puppet language/DSL and manifests, comparisons with upstream Facter releases (Facter 3/4), copyright and license attributions, CHANGELOG/HISTORY entries, and the generated man page (regenerate via rake gen_manpages).

Apply the same treatment as OpenVoxProject/openvox#530 to user-facing prose in this repository: - Rebrand "Puppet Server" -> "OpenVox Server" and "Puppet" (the product) -> "OpenVox" in the README, documentation pointer, shipped and dev config file comments, Clojure docstrings and comments, Java and embedded Ruby comments, and log/warning messages (including i18n/trs strings; the locales/*.pot catalog will need regeneration). - Rebrand prose Facter -> OpenFact and puppet-agent (AIO package) -> openvox-agent where they name the product in comments. - Neutralize the remaining Puppet Enterprise reference. - Point documentation/README.md at https://docs.openvoxproject.org/openvox-server/latest/. - Update RSpec and clojure.test assertions/descriptions that reference the changed strings, plus the acceptance check for the startup log message. Deliberately unchanged: the puppetserver CLI/service/package name, Clojure namespaces and service/protocol names, HTTP API routes and X-Puppet-* headers, config file names/settings and file paths, Ruby Puppet:: namespaces and Puppet[:setting] code, the "Puppet Server Internal Certificate" Netscape comment value embedded in certificates, Puppet Labs OID attribution, historical version references (Puppet 3.x/4/6/8, Puppet Server 2.0/2.1), Puppet language/DSL references, CHANGELOG, LICENSE/copyright lines, generated locale catalogs, and the legacy upstream-targeting acceptance harness.

I approve. Thanks for all the work !

Many of my review comments are duplicate things, none of them is blocking.
But it's probably a good idea to rapidly scroll through them before mergin.

These github links to puppetdb should probably also better be linked to openvoxdb. but leaving for now is ok for me.

 As the OpenVox project matures, we will create more documentation, guides, and tutorials.

lol ;) This does not make sense, either keep puppetlabs url, or rephrase the sentence.

Fixes for the unresolved review comments on the rebranding PR: - README: rephrase the documentation paragraph that contradicted itself after the link was repointed at docs.openvoxproject.org - docs/http.md: rebrand remaining PKI/infrastructure prose; point the puppetdb terminus and http report processor links at the OpenVoxProject repos - docs/rspec_tutorial.md: drop the stale "(spec tests only)" qualifier - docs/unicode.md: drop the obsolete Ruby 1.9 framing - api/docs/http_api_index.md: remove the stale Puppet Server 2.x / agent 3.x-4.x compatibility paragraph - defaults.rb: reference `serverport` instead of the deprecated masterport name in the server_list description; say "OpenVox Server" instead of the nonexistent `puppet server` command; drop the obsolete pre-7.x Windows version note from manage_internal_file_permissions - application help: clearer wording for the agent SIGHUP/SIGTERM signal descriptions and the apply "site-wide manifests" sentence; punctuate the dual Puppet Inc./Vox Pupuli copyright notices so they read correctly when man pages join the lines - user type: inline the stdlib module link so it is visible in the rendered attribute docs - module_loaders.rb, resource_type_impl.rb: reword comments/messages flagged as unclear - reference templates: fix canonical paths still pointing at /puppet/latest, use https for the Forge link, name the openvox-agent package explicitly (with matching anchors), and replace the broken core-types-cheatsheet reference link - locales/config.yaml: OpenVox package name, GitHub issues as the bug address, and dual Vox Pupuli / Puppet Inc. copyright - Regenerate man pages, references, and locales/puppet.pot Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Pritchard <steven.pritchard@gmail.com>
