FAQ

Below you can find common questions and answers.

Q: How do you uninstall an application and get it to reinstall in the application folder with boxen?

When removing applications make sure to remove the corresponding /var/db/.puppet_appdmg_installed_application so that boxen will reinstall it.

Q: How do you remove Boxen?

Run script/nuke from inside the /opt/boxen/repo directory.

Q: What's a good approach to merging our-boxen back into my private fork?

One approach is to delete the Gemfile.lock and Puppetfile.lock and run:

# Regenerates Gemfile.lock and installs new Gems
bundle install --without development

# Regenerates Puppetfile.lock and caches tarballs
bundle exec librarian-puppet install --clean

These will generate the respective lock files suitable for committing. Hope that helps.
