Puppet On ArchLinux

TurnToJPG -->

Installation

Install via;

sudo pacman -S puppet

Configurate this machine into server mode.

Install new Virtual Machine

Install a new ubuntu14.04 using qemu, and install puppet in it.
Generate the configuration file for mirror.list of Ubuntu.

Finally use the vdi file in the Ubuntu.

Install puppet in Ubuntu14.04:
http://linuxconfig.org/puppet-installation-on-linux-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr

Make Ubuntu use a fixed IP.

$ cat  /etc/network/interface
# s file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
	iface eth0 inet static
	address 10.0.0.88
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 10.0.0.1

And Copy the virtual disk, and change the UUID of the disk:

$ VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid ./Ubuntu.vdi 
UUID changed to: d1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Be sure to change the ip address to 10.0.0.89.

Now we have 2 machines.

No password enter for ssh login:

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub| ssh Trusty@10.0.0.88 'cat>>~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub| ssh Trusty@10.0.0.89 'cat>>~/.ssh/authorized_keys'

Server and Client

Install Server side in 10.0.0.88:

sudo apt-get install puppetmaster

In 10.0.0.88, edit /etc/hosts:

10.0.0.89	client

While in 10.0.0.89, edit /etc/hosts:

10.0.0.88	puppet

In client(10.0.0.89), start the service of puppet:

$ sudo service puppet start
 * Starting puppet agent                                                                                
puppet not configured to start, please edit /etc/default/puppet to enable
                                                                                                 [ OK ]

In server(10.0.0.88), start the service of puppet master:
Add following lines in to /etc/puppet/puppet.conf:

dns_alt_names = puppet, master.local, puppet.terokarvinen.com

Then remove all of the generated ssl :

rm -rf /var/lib/puppet/ssl

Now restart the puppetmaster via:

# service puppetmaster restart 

Change the hostname of 10.0.0.88 to Ubuntu88, 10.0.0.89 to Ubuntu89, and then restart the computer.
Now change the Ubuntu88’s configuration Add following lines in 10.0.0.88(Server): In /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, [master] heading:

dns_alt_names = puppet, master.local, puppet.terokarvinen.com

On 10.0.0.89(Client), change the following line in /etc/default/puppet:

START=yes

Then in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, add following:

[agent]
server = puppet

Restart the puppet service.

Now on server, use following command to list the cert and add signed cert.

Trusty@Ubuntu88:~$ sudo puppet cert --list
sudo: unable to resolve host Ubuntu88

  "ubuntu89" (SHA256) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Trusty@Ubuntu88:~$ sudo puppet cert --sign ubuntu89

Create the Site Manifest and a Module

Go to /etc/puppet, run following command:

Trusty@Ubuntu88:/etc/puppet$ sudo mkdir -p manifests/ modules/helloworld/manifests

Edit following file:

Trusty@Ubuntu88:/etc/puppet$ cat manifests/site.pp 
include helloworld

Create the file:

Trusty@Ubuntu88:/etc/puppet$ sudo cat modules/helloworld/manifests/init.pp
class helloworld {
        file { '/tmp/helloFromMaster':
                content => "See you at http://terokarvinen.com/tag/puppet\n"
        }
}

And Now in client, restart the puppet service:

Trusty@Ubuntu89:~$ sudo service puppet restart
sudo: unable to resolve host Ubuntu89
[sudo] password for Trusty: 
no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
 * Restarting puppet agent                                               [ OK ] 
Trusty@Ubuntu89:~$ cat /tmp/helloFromMaster 
See you at http://terokarvinen.com/tag/puppet

Now the basic configuration is OK.
