You can run puppet and ansible on a local machine without problems!
there is no need for a server!

Just install it, run it, set it up, start configuring and developing for
your CMS.

Further, I see security issues in allowing anyone to do whatever on FI
machines. There are development units for actual testing, but still. The
less access the merrier.

Regards,
Tristan
